Prosperity

An unknown someone sent The Grafton 123 a prosperity tree.

I'd post a picture of it, but the ones I've taken didn't turn out that well. It's actually sitting behind Kevin in the windowsill in the previous post.

I have no idea who sent it, but it is perfect.
It came via UPS in a tall, thin box. Michelle and Amber opened it and unpacked it, thinking it was a supply shipment. When they brought it out of the kitchen and I saw it for the first time, I knew immediately what it was -its symbolism- and felt a moment of total gratitude (I've been feeling gratitude a lot lately, and this was definitely gratitude).

Thank you to whoever it is who had the insight and wisdom to do something so perfect.

What's Up?

These are pics from last weekend, so things have changed already, but here's what's growing behind The 123....


I love the blue-purple of violets - the leaves are crisp and the blue bloom is soft and comforting:








This Creeping Charlie is still looking a little rough. Although some people get rid of it because it's a 'weed,' I like it because it's an easy, pretty, fluffy ground cover:








Dandelions, of course:








The buds won't be far behind, but right now there are Red Clover leaves:
