Old Photos to Make You Smile

I was just looking through some old digital photos, thinking I should delete them if I have shared them with you already.   But then I decided, no way!!  I really get pleasure from looking at them again!

Here are two that I like for their pride in the children and the plants.  I think its being -5F. outside now makes them even more attractive!

Our families include our favorite plants as all of you know.  Gardeners are delighted when they both are thriving!

On the flip side, I still mourn the loss of a night blooming cereus my grandmother handed down to me.  ...sigh...

I tried to think of a title for this post that wasn't so matter of fact, but this is all that came to mind.  In my defense, it is wicked hot in our old elementary school and my brains have simmered all day. 

There is something about tall plants that amuses people.  Corn, hollyhocks, sunflowers and the like attract people when the camera is around like bees are attracted to blossoms!  My husband says if I just planted my favorites he would have to get a ladder to admire the garden....you should see my lilies in bloom - over 6 feet high!

Anyway, back to the corn - here are some old photos I gathered off eBay over the years.

This is too good not to share full size.
