Another Gift from my Cousin

I have one cousin I talk to in the family. She is blind but you would never know. She sends me small gifts and I do the same for her. Her daughter comes and helps tell her what she has in the mail.
And we do face time so I can describe the colors to her. She gets so excited.
She sent me solar lights for Dustin's garden a few months ago, which I love. For Christmas, even though I told her no gifts, she sent me a few more butterflies.
The garden is really lit up now and I enjoy seeing them every night. When she calls I describe the colors to her and it makes her day. I have helped her with things on her computer and other personal things she had nobody to help her with. It helps me to help others.
The butterfly on the left was taken in September when the roses were still blooming. The one on the right is one of four I just got for Christmas.
Life is about the little things. Have a good day everyone!

It is nice you have a good relationship with your cousin. My cousin sent me a Christmas card, which came late again with the wrong name on it,,
now I have to send her a New Year's Card. She's OK though, she called my dad once after his mini stroke several years ago.
