Little Flower

The other night we ran to Lowes to get some more mulch (Ryan devoted 2 weekends to the yard and it's looking really good :) ).  I let Anderson help pick out some flowers for the mailbox, and he wanted a purple flower.  So, this is the blossomless beauty that stole Anderson's heart......

We planted the flowers quickly that night, and told Anderson that with a little sunshine and water it will grow.  The next morning I was grabbing some laundry upstairs and overheard this...

"Hi Little Flower!  How are you?  Hey Little Flower, maybe you can grow.  Alright Little Flower?"

Bad news, still no purple blooms yet.  Good news, it survived a below freezing night even though all of our impatients did not.  And Anderson's favorite thing to do these days is go outside and water (and talk to) Little Flower.  Anderson should have something to show for his efforts soon.
