this makes me smile every single time I see it...

are you asking yourself how there could

be a palm tree in a North Calgary backyard?

all it takes is very creative people

a chain saw and a "it has to be just the right fern"

and presto

a palm tree

without having to board a plane to Hawaii.

I am trying hard to slow down and make notes

of the simple things I see, hear and experience that

make me smile inside and

this is one of those things.

for 3 years I have looked into

this backyard (Kim and Aubrey's)

and this is the first thing my eye goes to

I find myself smiling each and every time and

musing about the creative people in this world.
