With a Smile...

Iris reticulata 'Ida'



If apples were pears
and peaches were plums
and the rose had a different name.
If tigers were bears
and fingers were thumbs
I'd love you just the same.

-Valentine's Day Songs and Poems


HAPPY  FEBRUARY 28

First smile of spring in the gardens -
he's happy whether rain, snow, or shine -
today the wind is giving him a boxing match,
as March refuses to wait another day for her entrance!

  8. P.S. (Oh, and in response to your comment - most definitely, if you ever do need a harness for your little rat terrier mix - just let me know..as I have tons of experience making them as a custom fit and at no extra charge.)
