Always with Grace

On November 15th Auntie Grace passed away. At the age of 93 she was more than ready to leave this earth despite that she was ever so sharp and sound in mind. But the body was ever so tired. Bless you Grace - may you rest in complete peace.

One last gift of flowers to see you on your way Grace. Only one stem of each type of flower,  except for four stems of lavender - one for each of your children. Leaves of camellia, a bush from a cutting out your garden and alstroemeria another gift from your garden to mine.
 
I've wrapped it in pink tissue paper sandwiched between cellophane and tied it with purple and green ribbons. The wrappings are a bit wrinkled as they have been used before but I think this is how you would want it - it does the job and still looks beautiful.

Bird Eradication Through Telepathic Yelling

 
Betty has come to help me in the garden this season. She was once a mad keen gardener, like myself but ailing health has left her a bit stuffed.

 
Betty is happy just to sit and keep an eye on things for me, deterring birds and kangaroos from the veggie garden.

 
She's fitting in quite well with the rest of the family, well she hasn't said anything bad about anyone!
