black-eyed susans

I woke up this morning to Lorie's sweet little chirping on the phone, saying "I'm bringing you a surprise. Don't get ready or anything, I'm in my grubbies"(paraphrased, I was totally groggy).

Ooohh! A surprise? For me? Maybe it's an egg Mc Muffin? Remember, I just woke up.

But this surprise was waaaay better than an egg McMuffin. Lorie decided to surprise me with flowers to plant in the front of my deck! So fun! And she even brought Starbucks. And Ellie to help plant the flowers. It was so incredibly sweet of them. They are sooo busy this week, that it was so special that they took time out to do this.


They planted lots of yellow, the signature color of friendship. And they also planted this cute fluffy flower that reminds me of Clio on Clifford the Big Red Dog. Isn't it just precious?


Here is Ellie's pick, the black-eyed susan(Speaking of eyes, doesn't the above picture look like it has an alien eye?).
It was the sweetest gesture ever and totally brightened my day. Thanks so much Lorie. You are such a doll! And thanks for helping Ellie, you black-eyed susan you. I love them. My very first flowers in the back yard. They will always be very special to me.
email me! i love you more than broccoli.
