Malcolm and flowers

Here's a few flowers that are blooming in our yard right now:

This is the back corner of our yard. I thought I would introduce you to this little boy who sits in our flower beds. His name is Malcolm. The kids gave him to Bob about 8 years ago and we have enjoyed seeing him ever since. You may wonder why his name is Malcolm? Bob named him that, saying he was "Malcolm, in the middle of the flowers". The show, "Malcolm in the Middle", was popular at the time and so the name stuck and we still refer to him as that.
