A flower for K

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Wednesday, June 30, 2010

Two weeks ago A came home from pre-school with a tiny, tiny seedling in a cup. We were supposed to water it and watch it grow.

I thought: there is no way this thing is going to survive.

But Frank loyally watered the plant each day, and A carefully monitored its progress.

Today, on the last day of school, we found the plant blooming on the windowsill.

Thank you, K, for another good "lesson"--and for a wonderful year.
