Making a Flower Garden
Rachel has been begging me to buy flowers for…well, all her life. And today isn’t the only day I’ve acquiesced, but it’s the only day so far this year. She’s happy as can be with soil under her fingernails and in her hair and well, maybe today will be a good day for a bath. [...]
