MY FATHER'S GARDEN

What a blessing it has been to welcome more spring wildflowers.
We have taking several trips to Shenk's ferry and one to our cousins cabins and Fowler's Hollow State Park in Perry County.  At Shenk's Ferry I often sit on the bench that is about half way back the trail and strike up conversations with folks as they are walking by.  I always ask them if they are enjoying my Father's garden.  Their reactions are varied but I think it is important to remind them who it is that made this beauty.  Here are some of the flowers we have been seeing.
