Looking through new eyes

My garden is not the greatest. Just a few roses over the pergola and some shade plants in a border area along the edge of the decking, but Sujin has discovered it and is fascinated by it. She sits, for long moments, taking in every aspect of each flower and leaf. Examining the big Dahlia flower heads and looking carefully at the wee daisy bush that is growing in a tub beside the trellis.
It's made me look again at things around me, that time and familiarity have given me to take for granted. Shadows dancing across the deck, clouds forming and moving over the sky and the way the wisteria moves in the breeze.

I think sometimes we feel we have so much to teach children but I find I'm learning so much too.
