Since today is National Tell A Story Day, I decided to combine it with my Weird Bird Wednesday…
Harold flew in just in time to help me today…
“Hello Harold! So nice of you to stop by and help me plant my flowers today!” I said exuberantly.
“Why of course,” said Harold as he started scratching in the dirt with his feet to make room for my flowers in the planter, “I wouldn’t miss it!”
“You know I am very fond of flowers,” chirped Harold as he perched on a tree branch next to me. “They add so much color! And some even attract my friends, the Hummingbirds.”
“Why yes, Harold,” I agreed as I tucked my flowers into the dirt. “Do you have a favorite flower, Harold?” I asked.
“Why yes I do, Ms. Jill! I love Violets because in the fall I like to spread the seeds all over,” said Harold flapping his wings. “Then everyone gets to enjoy them!”
“Thank you Harold for spreading the love of flowers!” I exclaimed as Harold flew off in the sky.
Now you know how Violets, like these flowers – show up in unexpected places…
So, “Stay CALM and Garden On” like Harold. 🙂
yes garden on….and draw on!

Thanks Debi – I painted this one in watercolors. I’m trying to improve my shading. I can see areas I need more like on the ground but I feel like I’m doing a little better. 🙂
