This post is not about that darling little girl in the picture but the beautiful flowers behind her and something only Ellie would do. I don't know if you can tell but those flowers are tall. They are so tall that they actually had a stem of about two feet. The stood level with my parents front porch. It is about four steps up. They surround the porch and are amazing. Now, Miss Ellie saw them as so much more. She decided that these flowers not only were pretty to look at but were also a great way to continue on with the porch. She stepped right out on to them without any hesitation. I think she thought they would hold her. Well, as you can guess they didn't hold one bit and down she went. She left a hole in the front yard flowers the size of her. Luckily she wasn't injured to bad. She shed some tears but that was all. I will have to say it was one of the oddest things I have ever seen. She just walked right off. She didn't even test it first. As soon as I knew she was okay I had to laugh. All I could think was "Only Ellie". Oh, and don't worry she wasn't done yet. I put her in the car and gave her one of the two feet tall flowers to keep. She decided to EAT it. Yes, I just said EAT IT! After a little freak out on my part and a quick call to poison control she was fine. Again "Only Ellie". I wish I had had my brain about me because it really was a sight to see with a kid sized hole in the flower bed. My parents luckily were removing the flowers the next day for Autumn yard clean up so no harm done. It just makes for a great story to tell. Oh Ellie, I just love you. You make my heart smile.
