"Mary, Mary, quite contrary how does your garden grow?"

To which London (taking upon herself the role of Mary in the musical that is her life) responds, "With roses, day lilies, those white flowers, tulips........." (and it continues, as you will soon discover).

James, London and I decided that London (and Noble's) playhouse could use some color and life that only a garden can bring. It was a little chilly when we started, but London can be quite the worker.
A little water, a little sun....
....and a few flowers eaten away by a gang of vandalizing backyard bunnies......

....and the addition of some rose bushes with help from Papa, Honey and Elizabeth.....

and we have a vibrant, blooming garden. And a very successful little gardener.

Mastering the art of smiling.

Good thing London is here to help.

And speaking of London, those shorts she's wearing have been 'put away' for the last three summers, and somehow they keep showing up. It's a real mystery, how they suddenly reappear and also how London gets them on (the tag reads 24 mos.).

Beautiful girl.
Remember the song I mentioned at the beginning? Well, here it is. Enjoy.
