Nature Non-Lover

With spring in full swing, we thought we'd capitalize upon the annual daffodil explosion in our backyard and take some pictures of William. We never figured that he'd be wary of close encounters with plants. Take a look:

We finally got a semi-decent flower shot by making a compromise. If William wouldn't go to the daffodils, a lone daffodil would have to come to him.

For anyone who wonders, it's worth mentioning that St. Lucy's does have a very lovely courtyard garden, thanks to the hard work of some volunteers from our agency who traveled over to help with renovations a little over a year ago. I'm not sure how much opportunity William and the other babies had to go outside. No doubt, the caretakers had their hands full just changing diapers, wiping noses, and feeding child after child.





If you look carefully at the picture to the left, you can see the windows of the nursery where William used to live. The nursery is on the ground floor to the left of the tall, spirally tree. William's crib was right in front of one of the windows. It's nice to know he had a garden view during his time there.
