perfect surprise

Posted on April 9, 2018 by thirdstoryies

M and the girls surprised me with this planter that I’ve wanted for ages, and my sister and family gave me a gift certificate to a favorite nursery to purchase a plant to go in it. I went with something else in mind – something shorter, with broad, variegated leaves. But then the girls spotted this tree, with four intertwining branches as the trunk. Four like us four. The right size. The right exposure. The right price. It’s perfect.
