And the today…. May is my favorite month and gardening is my favorite hobby. This spring 2019 has been cool and wet. However the flowers apparently are loving it! Some of these are planted by me, and some are planted by birds and the wind. It is God’s garden.

It’s amazing that these guys found each other in that little area of Liverpool […]
