Quote: A Child's Gardner

I neat quote I came across the other day....
However, I am not sure who originally said it....

A weed bouquet in a chubby fist...

Sidewalk Chalk

We had a beautiful afternoon in the beautiful outdoors, playing with one of my childhood favorties... sidewalk chalk!!

As tradition... I traced around KB, and made her a chalk girl....

We started to make a second one - a ballerina girl....

But got interrupted by this...

After the rain passed, we went to the front yard, where B had just finished trimming...

and collected these pretty flowers for the kitchen table....

Our friends orchid bush...

A flower's appeal is in its contradictions - so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect.About five long years after originally taking the cutting from my FIL's garden, and planting it in the front yard.... my Frangipani plant finally bloomed!!!
