Alright, I'm going to attempt this blog thing. I'm still not entirely sure how it works but I'm going to give it a try. Thanks to Marla who sent me the link to this site because I'm not sure I would have actually gone looking for it myself!
Well here we are in California! I feel as though I should start my blog with some sort of profound observation or something... Maybe I'll just start by saying that there are so many flowers here! My neighbour has calla lilies growing in the front yard! I guess I never thought about the fact that they would actually grow in nature and don't just magically appear in people's wedding bouquets!
Since I've started a bit of a flower theme to my post I will end with this quote:
"Die when I may, I want it to be said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow" - Abraham Lincoln
I love that quote except for the fact that the thistle is a flower and I think it's quite pretty! When I told David and Asha this quote and my issue with the thistle part Asha said "I know! You could say poison ivy instead!". Brilliant!
...and your child's a genius...
ReplyDeletenever mind plucking a thistle is only recommended when wearing heavy duty welding gloves...
