Eve Roper's Nursery Rhyme Contest ~ August 23, 2024

Bethany loved growing pretty flowers. She'd tend to her lovely garden for hours, making sure she watered each one enough. Always near her, was her puppy dog, Ruff and kitty, Fluff, who wandered in one day. Bethany asked, "Oh, please, Mom. Can Fluff stay?" Colorful flowers grew along the path. Bethany wanted to add a birdbath, but thought Fluff would surely scare them away when in the water they would bathe and play. Bethany always wished for just one thing... She wanted each season to be like Spring!

Thanks so much for liking the name. It just popped into my mind... I don't know anyone with that name. I appreciate your many visits, Kim.

In this case it appears from the beauty of her garden, she's a winner. Although 'Trifecta' to me means only one thing... I'm off to the races. I used to own and race thoroughbreds with my dad. Thanks a lot, John.
