49/365 What a Champ!

Isla is wearing new sunglasses because she had her pupils dilated today.  She took all the  tests, bright lights and hanging out waiting like a champ. She has picked out her first pair of glasses which will arrive in less than 2 weeks.  And they are so darn cute!! 

48/365 Canna Lily

 Last fall grand daughter Jane and I discovered that the dead Canna Lily on my front steps had clusters of seed pods. We carefully rescued each seed and I placed them in a pot of soil in the garage. About a week ago I pulled the pot from the garage and gave it a good watering. Lo and behold within 2 days our first Canna Lily popped up. Now I am no gardener so I googled Canna Lily propagation and yes, you can plant the seeds successfully but first  "Canna seed propagation involves soaking, heating, and scarification." 

I didn't do that! And I am not about to go hunting for the black seeds and start now. I will keep them good and wet and hopefully the rest of them are as eager as this first one. I will keep you posted.

 The rose is an amazingly beautiful creation. The smell is glorious. I am enjoying my bouquet.

 Friends came for lunch. It has been so very long since we have been comfortable gathering more than two or three. Thankful for this opportunity and a little glimpse of normal again.

44/365 Valentines Cookies

A very creative trio made and decorated these cookies today. 

One of these things is not like the others,

One of these things just doesn't belong,

Can you tell which thing is not like the others

By the time I finish my song?

42/365 Tough

She has faced a lot of challenges in her short 5 years. Our "Brainiac" is bright and intuitive - she gets it. I pray she will meet her challenges head on and continue to persevere with joy.
