When kids are quiet...

big backyard

 This morning, the girls headed out into our new big backyard and disappeared into silence.  I know well enough that quiet kids usually mean they are up to something, but I let it go.  They are outside!  They are in our own backyard.  It's a safe neighbourhood.  It's all good, right?

Mostly.

They called me out to view their masterpiece.

They had been busy picking flowers from the garden and decorating a plain bush in the corner of the backyard.  They were so proud of its newfound beauty!  They couldn't wait to do more!

The problem?
We don't have a flower garden.  The neighbour does (sorry, Nancy!).
