Good Morning my family
Do you think that this rain will bring flowers?
The lovely poem that my kindergartener brought home yesterday. More of a survey, really. She left a space for each family member to respond – except the three year-old “because she can’t write yet.”
God, I hope it brings flowers. And I hope you stay as lovely and sweet as you are right now. With your sense of wonder and hope and excitement.

/ April 14, 2013Lovely poem, mama! I am a longtime believer that children are far smarter than we are. Save this, as I am sure you will. Take a photo of any flowers you spot in the yard. And when life throws a curveball you can remind her of the day she asked if the rain brought flowers and you can tell her that indeed it always does. 🙂

/ April 14, 2013Very good point! This is a teachable moment that can last and last!
She is so anxious to get out in the garden, plant seeds and flowers . . . she gets angry when I stay her because of the danger of frost. I hope she keeps her sense of urgency to make the world a more beautiful place despite the risks.
Thank you for your perspective.

/ April 14, 2013She sounds like a special little lady. 🙂 Our daughter was always anxious for our garden to grow but would never allow pesticides because she wanted the ladybugs to eat the plants. 🙂
