New Patio Furniture

Just ordered some new patio furniture to replace the teak round table and chairs. They were too big and bulky for the patio.

 
The new chairs rock and swivel.  I took my Lily bug down to the garden today. We swiveled in the chair while she viewed all the greenery, blooms, the flag, the fairy statue, the bird bath, and the frog rain gauge.  We were even close enough to the lavender for her to touch--and crush--it.  It was like being a human baby exersaucer with a garden theme. At home she has a jungle-themed exersaucer and upstairs at our house, she has a marine-themed exersaucer but today she experience nature first-hand while bouncing in my lap and swiveling around for all the views of the garden.
 
 
 
We sang this song:
 
White Coral Bells
Upon a slender stalk.
Lilies of the valley deck my garden walk.
Oh, don't you wish that you might hear them ring?
That will happen only when the fairies sing.
 
 
She loved it because her name is in it, but she is also going to be a future gardener since she reaches out to touch each bloom and leaf.  I have some coral bells but they are pink and surround the bird bath.  I have some lilies of the valley from my daughter's garden which I planted up the hill near the birch tree. I have a fairy reading a book in the garden. Now I have a little gardener to enjoy it all with me!
 
 
The coral bells upon a slender stalk don't look so good after the hurricane.
That's a daylily leaf with a row of rain drops still upon it.
Such marvels to discover every day, rain or shine!
