What a fun, creative way to display "f" and "g"!
We have places around here that I have not been to. I am always so busy with gardening and other things, that I don't take the time to take advantage of these spaces/places. One of these days, I will. Maybe, I'll even make it to those gardens in Iowa!
Hi Sue, I know what you mean about not taking "field trips." However, if you decide to take a trip to Iowa, let me know!!! :-) I'd love to meet you!
