Old fashioned

Both of the Grand daughters have arrived! Like flowers in the garden, they blossomed one at a time.
Their fresh new lives are a lovely unfolding of beauty, hope and mystery.

The little ones have charming, old-fashioned names. Clara May and Ella Jane. This seems just right. The old-fashioned garden plants welcome them with soft perfume.

Great set of photos. Glad you have had 2 granddaughters. I have one too. 3 months old and very special called Jocelyn Joy.
Are all the plants in your garden?? Must smell beautiful.

Hi Bob! It's so nice to see you here!
Your granddaughters' name is delightful.( Joy is one of my very favorites - I suggested it to both of my daughters.)
These beautiful babies are our most wonderful gifts.
The pictures are all from our too-small city garden. I get a little carried away with planting...:)
