Simpy Floral

Tommorrow I will share another funny story about life.  Today, I have one last kid's showcase for this week.  My eldest, a 9 year old girl, loves gardening.  So much in fact that at one point she had written up a contract for our 8 year old son, asking him to sign over all rights to his strawberry plants, to her.  This was during strawberry season, when she was wanting to be the sole consumer of our strawberry patch. 

This year, I gave her and exclusive portion of the garden to do what she would.  Of her own choice, she decided to plant a variety of small sunflowers.  She cleverly reminds me whenever there is a vase full of her flowers on our kitchen table, that she steadfastly planted them during a thunderstorm.  Although this is true, our thunderstorms consist of a nice warm summers eve, with a slight drizzle, and lighning strikes in the distance.  So it's not as bad as she'd like to make it sound.

All pictures above are of Child #1's sunflowers.  Homegrown, with her tender little hands and heart.

Life is All Surreal.  The effort it takes to nurture another life, pays off in the end.  Don't give up when there aren't immediate results.  Good things are worth the wait.
