Shelley's Garden Blog Begins

Shelley's Garden Blog seems like an apt metaphor for life, family and vocation.   And with such a name, I'll  start with a photo from the garden, such as it is.  The Hollyhocks are a bit worse for wear after a few bouts of frost this past week.   There is snow on the mountains.

       I rather delight in these flowers -- the seeds are originally from the manse in Manitoba and they went with me to Vancouver Island and now here.  While everything grows on Van Isle, these flowers at least fare much better here -- less chance of disease from the rain.
