Flower Delivery

 This is the "Children's Garden" just outside the kitchen window.
It's were the birds congregate,
 tomatoes are picked by little fingers.
I grow pink Dahlias for a little girl,
who's favorite color is ....pink.

 Today, I delivered a bouquet flowers to Lulu,
 before I went to work.
I cut them really early in the morning.
When everyone was still asleep,
 I drove over and left the flowers on their front porch.
Then I hurried off to work before anyone saw me.
Surprise!
 This is the view from my kitchen window when I got home today.

Look who stretched it's pink head to look at me.
It makes me think of Lulu.

  1. Lulu is sure lucky to have a special grandmother like you!
    That was really sweet, Christine. My maternal grandma's name was Lulu too. She died when my mother was only nine, so I never got to know her.
    Did you name your garden after Robert Louis Stevenson's children book? Just wondering.
