Friday's Flowers


The spruce trees are looking healthy - growing in leaps and bounds.  Just like my granddaughter Karli, who spent nearly two weeks with us!

We enjoyed being outside and playing in her playhouse.

She learned to water her playhouse flowers.



She spotted the gnomes hidden in the gardens.

It often happens to children - and sometimes to gardeners - that they are
given gifts of value of which they do not perceive until much later.
