Thank you dahlia

The boy recently expressed his love of a friend's dahlias. She was kind enough to give the boy one of his own to take home, a lovely small red one.

After putting it in a jar of water, the boy sat down to draw a thank you picture. He carefully drew a picture of the flower in the jar, even including the "Happy Easter" sticker that was on it from a few months ago. He wrote a short thank you message and put it away for safekeeping until the next time we would see her. He then asked me to write it down somewhere so we wouldn't forget.

Today we were headed her way, so we brought the picture along. He gave it to her and told her what it was for, and she was pleased to receive it.

(Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of this one!)
