Jason has always found it scandalous that little girls live in places where they have no flowers to pick, (or are not allowed to pick the flowers). It's part of a little girls job: to roam through gardens, to pick this and that, to add it to a collection and bring it home for Mom to put in a vase. Margaret Mary loves flowers and since the grass has started to grow, will pick anything and make a bouquet out of it. The cover crop on our garden just flowered and MM spends lots of time each day out there picking flowers and putting them in her little box.
Loot at how sweetly she laid all her flowers in her box.
Some flowers go in vases but MM has other uses for her bouquets as well. She plays "getting married," and also likes to throw them on the ground as in a procession at Mass.
We could watch her for hours pick flowers and are so thankful for the natural wildflowers (and the cover crops here) that provide such ample picking opportunities. Jason is well pleased.
