* When Margaret and Helen come ....


 When Margaret and Helen come,
we will get up early in the morning before anybody else.
We will take a walk through Gimpy's garden
and go up the steps of 3, 5, and 7.
Gimpy will explain what the 3, 5, and 7 mean ...
but we won't understand.


When Margaret and Helen come, we will stop and pick flowers. Some of the flowers will smell pretty.  Other flowers won't smell at all.  Maybe we will pick a bouquet to take to Mama and Papa.  
 When Margaret and Helen come, we will feed the birds.  It will be quite a job getting all the different kinds of bird feed in all the different feeders.  Then we will sit and watch all the birds as they come to eat.  Each of us will have our favorite bird and we will change our minds over and over again.
 When Margaret and Helen come, we will feed and watch the chickens.  We will watch them as they come out of their house and eat their breakfast.  We will try to walk like chickens and we will laugh and laugh.
 When Margaret and Helen come, we will spend  much time in the Wisteria Lodge.  Margaret will help me water the flowers.  We will be thirsty and drink tea and eat muffins.We will probably make cold tea that tastes like lemonade.   We will read books and rock.
 When Margaret and Helen come, Grammy and Gimpy will be so excited.  We will do little else other than be with Margaret and Helen.            When Margaret and Helen come, I will be in the garden ... waiting.
