[mostly] flowers :)

Went to visit relatives yesterday... my great aunt and great uncle. My great aunt is - like - the worlds most amazing flower gardener. At least, I think so. ;) She tried to convince me that her flowers did horrible this year and looked bad. I'd have to say something quite the opposite....

she had this crystal ball in her garden.... SO COOL!!!!
