Little Helper

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.

Just a Hint of Spring

"O the green things growing, the green things growing,

The faint sweet smell of the green things growing!

I should like to live, whether I smile or grieve,

Just to watch the happy life of my green things growing."

An Outing With The Grandkids

We decided a 'field trip' was in order so John and I took 5 of the grand kids and 'Daddy' Russ and
Uncle Ben to The Evergreen Aviation Museum. It has been a favorite location for many of us
from its beginning . It is amazing to have this inspiring, educational place right here in Oregon.

Christmas Day in The Morning

Christmas was a full and wonderful day!

I loved every minute of it.

To have one's family close and happy to be together,
