We have always wanted Deb to have a baby. The thing is, we weren't specific enough. Back in her "signing" days we didn't realize the sign for baby was universal for human and plant baby. I know, our mistake. now she has LOTS of babies every spring. Someday I will take the time to explain that other babies come from seeds too.
Ah, sisters...What would one do without them?
What can one say; at least Deb is going forth and multiplying... Plants, perhaps, but they are prolific...
