This lovely image of children with their pets came from my stash of paper scraps. I don't know the illustrator because I pulled the image from an old discarded library book. The poem is sweet and the children are adorable.
Flowers from my daughter for Valentine's Day.
A tiny chalkware lamb found at a thrift store.
And a fountain in a swanky neighborhood near our house.
The Texas redbuds are blooming, and the flowering magnolias in my neighbor's yard are open. Along the canal near my house, I spotted the first tiny bluets and the white bells of false onion. The deer vetch has also begun to bloom.
