Beautiful Flowers

While housesitting at Granny's house, Cecilia went to sleep early one night, while Andrew worked late, so Francesca and I took advantage by lounging on Granny's lawn, reading books in the hammock, feeding the birds and blowing bubbles. It was a lovely evening. The best jammies when staying at Granny's are one of Granny's old t-shirts. Or in this case, one of Grandpas.

Every time Francesca sees a new flower, she gets as excited as if she is looking at an exquisite diamond, "Oh! Mama, look! A sunflower bloomed!" She found this one blooming in Granny's driveway. It is amazing, if you stop to consider it sprouted voluntarily from birdseed. She really has a way of making us all screech to a halt and wallow in the beauty of the moment.
