   Wonderful Pat, what a great compilation. The bee on the red poppy looked like it was playing the piano key inner petals…I see I made an appearance as well 🙂
   And what a lovely smiling and happy grand daughter you have.

     Thanks, Eddy. Eddy (the cat) is a slow-moving happy cat. I just happened to catch him in action.
     Calliope was real happy walking on the beach. She only gets to do that when she visits Grandma and Grandpa.

   Superb choice of music for the video! You really have been busy. I wonder whether there were times you regretted putting up that deer fence 😉 I’ll have to check out all those beautiful flowers again your garden is blooming. Gorgeous granddaughter, I think she must be about the same age as our youngest. Amelia

     No regrets on the deer fence. Sometimes I wonder why I ‘foot dragged’ so long. Now with all the deer meandering outside, we obsess over whether we closed the gates or not.
     Calliope is 3 1/2, an age she is not afraid to announce to everyone. While she’s a little short in stature, she has made up for it with a super confident personality. Her older cousins love it. The picture at the end of the video shows her being happy at finding a hat just like Grandma’s. 🙂

       Roya at 3 1/4 is great fun too, it is a pity we are so far away.

   Thanks for this video, it’s given me a real insight in to a part of your lives, and I loved the music. We recently went to a superb concert entitled Tango Nuevo with music from a variety of composers including Astor Piazzolla.
