Hey Emma!

What,Gramma?

Check out your garden.

You have frog benches!

Huh?

What are frog benches?

That’s what your daddy called toad stools,when he was your age.

He did?

Weird…

…Sometimes,I wonder about Daddy...

That means there is good stuff under the ground.

---actually,it’s the rotting oak tree ,I think---

For your garden to grow.

It’s a good thing.

W-e-l-l…

….ok,then…

….but I still think Daddy was weird to call them frog benches….

And look at your Queen Emma Crinum.It has babies!

Babies…like I used to be?

‘cause I’m almost a big girl,

like Gina,

…now.

Yes,I know.

Please,don’t grow up too fast,ok?

Ummmm…

….Gramma,I’ll try.

 

…….Soooo,Emma…..

Not counting the ones I’m hiding from those mean Lubbers.

I think I don’t like those meanie old Lubbers.

Me,neither.

 

…..And look at the orchids…..

I think your great grandpa would be proud,don’t you?

Yep!

….But.….

Gramma,why don’t you label those orchids?

Because I’m not your Great Grandpa,or your Great Uncle Ross.

…sorry…

That’s ok.They’re still pretty flowers,anyways.

Thank you,Emma,

and thanks for your input.

No problem,Gramma.

Anytime

 

 

Emma,say good gardening to the readers,Emma….

Good gardening,readers!

I pretty sure just the other day I was commenting on the cutest little baby I had every seen. I'm not sure who this cutest little toddler ever is, but it can't be the same girl. Oh my!!

Oh, that almost big-girl Emma is so cute! And her grove of crinums is going to be spectacular when they start blooming all at once. How are your lubbers this year? Did you use the Nolo Bait? I did and I have only seen a few babies so far.
