Grandma didn’t leave me much to intro with this week! She seemed extremely busy hurrying to get stuff in by the first frost. She does mention a flower I’d never heard of again, so I went searching to find out what a false dragonhead was so I am using that image this week courtesy of Wikipedia. It’s pretty, isn’t it?
Oh, and I adore she calls Rosie a “little goose” this week. So sweet!
NOTE: As always, I left her spelling, capitalization, and punctuation as much as possible.
