I have to admit, but this was truly a proud moment. Elise and I have 
been constant companions until she started school last September and 
we spend lots of time in the garden. She has her own garden area and 
tools. Oh and she can tell you which ones are daylilies and which are 
sedums.  We'll see what she learns this year.
