'member June?

after a visit to my grandparent's home, and taking these pictures of the backyard, I told myself to wait to do any posting. that in the dead of winter, I'd enjoy some summer pics.

seriously, remember the Kansas sun? I miss it. My winter cranky has really set in.

in late June, I walked around my grandpa's gardens. while he pointed out his pink hollyhocks. and his abundant tomatoes (and the roof damage they received in a recent tornado). I am late in appreciating his gardening talents. But in the past few years, I've realised it gives us something in common. And I enjoy seeing his love.
