Yesterday, Julie decided Aunt Helen Bear needed to wear something a little more appropriate to the season. She dressed her in a colorful garden apron with a bright linen shirt over it, and then used some fetching Jellycat hydrangeas and a watering can to complete the look. Julie was determined to include Frankie in the photo and a customer offered to help entice Frankie to pose (bribe him with a treat).
Julie fills in for me when I'm off on a coddiwomple. I'm in Sault Ste Marie, bumming around with our son and his wife exploring the Upper Peninsula and then heading toward Sudbury, and eventually Niagara on the Lake, and Niagara Falls, Canada. ~ photos by Julie
