Pansy Wreath

This old woman lives alone in a large farmhouse in rural Japan. She wakes early each day to tend her garden. And look after her pansy wreath.

That is so neat, I've never seen anything like that before! She's got to have an impressive green thumb, it makes me want to try something like it (if only I had a yard- soon, maybe!).

Hello Kat, Don't they have any plots of land out there by the grain silos you might be allowed to use? Did they ever replace that big one which broke? -Kurt :-)

[kidzero22]

does she sell her pansy for a living?

[softypapa]

Hello kidzero22, This woman's selling days are past and she only gives things away anymore. Her large garden, orchard and bamboo grove are open to all of her friends and neighbors who come to take in the harvest for her throughout the year. We all chip in and help her with yard chores and the like (I moved ladders this day) yet her favorite form of payment is just to have us just sit and chat with her. She is a wonderful woman with an alert and curious mind. -Kurt :-)

~WOW~ That's Great. She's one serious grower & I thought I had a green thumb too. ~LOL~ I do have a green thumb too and I see how she's done that. Still it's amazing. I wish I knew what that flower is (sorta pinkish) that's mixed in w/ the pansies. Looks like a Butterfly flower of sorts. She's done a great Job. Please tell her that a Feile (file) a Man over in Denver, Colorado USA Says that she has done a VERY good job at making that wreath! She Rocks!

:D
