I recently returned from a week in San Diego visiting family there. It was a delightful week, especially being able to spend time with my first great-grandchild, John.
When I make trips to San Diego, my daughter usually has a few father-daughter chores lined up for me. This visit was no exception. The two of us cleaned up a non-working water feature and replaced it with a new fountain. We cleared garden beds and filled numerous pots with succulents.
The big chore was rebuilding and replanting two hanging “pictures” of succulents. I had first constructed them about ten years ago, and time dictated they should be redone. She repainted the frames, and I rebuilt the planting area and backing. Using new material clipped from my daughter’s garden I “painted” these two scenes to hang on her garden fence.


My art teacher daughter was pleased with my efforts…and so am I.
What a lovely connection, John. Love this!

Thanks, Lindy. My daughter and I have doing stuff together since she was a wee one. IT’s fun to keep at it from time to time.

That looks so pretty John. How lovely you can still do some gardening occasionally, and even more so when it is with your daughter. 🙂
