Dear Liza,
A year ago, Auntie Katie and her friends planted a garden in the skinny triangle of ground behind her bookshop, Books With Pictures. Everyone helped with weeding and watering during the hot summer and fall, and the garden rested through our cold, wet winter.
And now that summer is on the way, everything is coming up roses!
And irises, lilacs and dahlias!
And lupines!
The Rhododendron that Katie bought on Mother’s Day has settled right in and started blooming. She named it Barney (for the big purple dinosaur) and he is showing his Barney colors.
This past year there have been story times, concerts, trivia contests, and book signings in the garden.
That little stage has seen a lot of talent.
Katie just put in some benches, so there is always a place to sit in the sun or the shade, whichever you like. They are good places to enjoy the flowers and watch the world go by.
Love,
Grandma Judy
Dear Liza
