My niece, Alison, lives in beautiful Wasilla, Alaska where she gardens and keeps ducks and chickens. A few days ago she sent me pictures of her gorgeous and exuberant garden which I praised when speaking with her. Like many of us, she only saw the faults in her creation and made me promise not to post any of her images. Last night, she sent me the following pictures and text which I thought were adorable and she said I could share them. Some of the images are a little blurry because, "That little guy moves fast."
This is Ollie.
He reads all the plant labels faithfully, scrutinizing sun and water needs.
He checks all the corners for slugs.
He LOVES helping…unlike some people who won’t come to visit.
He works very quickly
And checks in often to make sure I’m ok.
Ollie. Named after a certain blogger…OutLaw…Ollie.
