The false indigo and dandelion grow in my garden, the hazelnuts are from my time teaching at Clos Mirabel in France, and my neighbor grew the tiny red onion.

The blackberry and the false indigo grow in our garden, the beetle was crawling in a sunflower in my daughter's garden, and the seashell was in a box of treasures I got from Nancy.
