When we are at home one of my favorite pastimes is to plant and grow flowers. So it should not come as any surprised to those who know to find that I spent part of the day planting a small plot of ground just off our patio with dianthus, impatiens, and petunias. Now we will see how my garden grows…

 

When we were in Kimberly, I saw a flower I did not know. Later I found out it was a version of the black-eyed susan. Today I noticed that we had one of these plants in our yard. It must have already been finished blooming when we got here in February of last year so I did not see it.

 Speaking of February – it was then that elder Knowles took this great picture of us in front of a huge field of beautiful cosmos. When we are at home one of the flowers I always plant is cosmos but it never gets as thick in my yard as it does along the roads here in South Africa.
