As we sat on the patio chairs with Aaron and his partner Leah, discussing the morning’s gardening, Poppy appeared in the kitchen doorway. Matthew soon followed, completing the pleasant surprise.
Granny was soon enjoying a cuddle.
Poppy pottered around playing with pebbles and a car given to her by Akram at Lal Quilla on her last visit there.
Displaying a rapid two-gun draw, she then began irrigating the paving
and washing an owl
Jackie employed a novel method of keeping the cans filled,
and Poppy trotted off to water the flowers in the Kitchen Bed.
For our dinner this evening, Matthew and Poppy joined Jackie in a trip to Mr Chatty Man Chan at Hordle Chinese Take Away, and returned with a scrumptious selection including our granddaughter’s favourite noodles.
She sampled most other items, including spare ribs.
Her flower dress suits the occasion of watering flowers!
So true, Shamim, good observation. Thank you.
Children + water + sloppy food = pure joy
🙂 Absolutely, Donna. Many thanks
ooooooooh, Poppy is going to be such a heart-breaker when she grows up!! Such a cutie!
She already is, GP. Many thanks

Poppy and her granny! <3 Love the double-can watering method – must try that myself someday. 🙂
Thanks very much, Pauline
She’s a lovely kid and so serious in her job 🙂
Thanks very much, Arlene
Pic’s 11, 12 and 13, beginning with her heading out with both watering cans are particularly endearing. I wouldn’t be able to stop photographing her.
I can’t, Lisa! Many thanks
An adorable gardener! I notice she is ambidextrous too. May God bless her.
Very many thanks, Uma
She’s absolutely gorgeous, pretty as a picture, as you have show very well. When I see them like this I often feel it’s such a shame that they have to grow up and lose all that wonderful innocence
So true, Brian. Thank you.
Poppy is so cute and all grown up!
And not 2 until August. Thanks very much, Sylvie
She’s precious!
She is, Marina. Thank you
What an adorable little gardener she is. 🌷
Many thanks, Miriam
Lovely times, nicely caught, grandkids are so precious, but grow up far too quickly, so it’s good to have shots like these.
Many thanks, Fraggle
These photos are priceless!
Many thanks, Lynn
so sweet!
Poppy is utterly adorable and so photogenic!
Very many thanks, Laurie
I’ve seen you commenting at seedbud’s for months now, and just never made it here to see what you were up to. What a wonderful day to arrive. Your Poppy has brought huge smiles on a gray and gloomy day. Her dress brought an extra smile. The fabric is almost identical to that in a playsuit I had in the 1950s, and dearly loved. They say if you wait long enough, everything comes back into fashion!
Thanks very much, Linda. I like it when my posts spark others’ memories.
Poppy is just lovely and a very dedicated gardener! I love Jackie’s smile. She’s such a proud grandma! Thank you so much for sharing these delightful pictures.
Very many thanks, Elizabeth
Oh, precious shots – all of them.
Many thanks, Jodie
: )
May god bless Poppy, My family joins with me to bless the child.
Thanks very much, Alexius
She’s a natural!
Thanks very much, Brenda
She’s going to treasure some of these pictures when she’s older.
Many thanks, Susan
Poppy “stole the show” from the flowers, Derrick! Aww, such a sweet helper for watering the flowers.
Clever Jackie, making sure the watering service didn’t slow down. . . I liked the photo of Poppy hugging Granny best of all. 💐
Photo #2 was my second favorite! xo 💖
Very many thanks, Robin X
Delightful, Derrick! I enjoyed seeing how intent Poppy was with her watering. She looked very serious. All of the photos are wonderful, but I like the photo of Jackie smiling as Poppy waters.
Thanks very much, Merril
If Poppy keeps watering the pebbles someday they’ll grow into big rocks, I just know it.
Great comment, Susanne. Many thanks
Omygosh Derrick, Poppy is so absolutely precious! <3
Thanks very much, Julie
A beautiful series of photos! The joys of being young and everything is new, including watering cans! 🙂
Thanks so much, Lavinia, especially for such a lot of reading and commenting
Looks like another good day in the garden.
It was, Quercus. Many thanks
