Wordless Wednesday: after the snowstorm
It is Wordless Wednesday.
Ok. Maybe not completely wordless.
Garden Variety is joining the blogging tradition of Wordless Wednesday, when bloggers let their cameras do the talking.
And we'd like you to join us.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.
She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
