A little girl is put on a train to visit her relative, who has the same name. Descriptions of the area where there is no real yard.
Each house is about the same. Love how the colors to them depict a story behind each.
She visits during different seasons and tells how each house is decorated. Love how they give flowers to an elderly woman.
She has cooking treats for them....love hearing of claw tub where they paint the toe nails LOL
Describes their daily lifes there and how she makes her bed. Love the nightly ritual of don't let the bed bugs bite.
Public gardens I had never seen as my eyes were dilated and I know the swan boats are there.
