where did those flowers come from

We have lots of flowers this year and an early spring to enjoy them in.  They yard has been green for a while too and Patt thinks it is time to mow already.


sure the grass is green, periwinkle growing and daffodils up and oh so pretty.  Those we know came from my Dad's yard as we have brought many of the descendants of those to our yard.



The question is where did these beautiful pansies come from .  We have never had so many so beautiful in so many places in our yard before.

A look at the two pansies in the picture above from the rear and observing the mailbox post may provide a clue.


Yes, late last fall in November, I had two very good yard workers help me plant pansies.  You may even recognize them.  I remember them well.


They worked so hard.  Digging holes, adjusting hats, moving tools around, and


pushing dirt back around roots of the pansies.    Julianna and Lydia were joys to work with that day


We got so much done that day.  The flowers were planted and they survived the winter's cold and snow and now that spring is here, they look so beautiful.


And every time I see  pansies I remember that day and Julianna and Lydia, planting the flowers.

It was a very good day.
