Fiori Del Sole, Inc: My youngest employee

As I have been sorting through pictures there have been so many memories from the summer that when I found this one I had to blog about it right now :)

We had a wedding at the Wildflower Center this summer where we had to hang floral balls in the butterfly garden. Whelp, I hate ladders but yet I always find myself agreeing to do things in high places (there is a really good story about this I will share later).
Now Richard (my husband) will always step up the plate and go to the highest of highs to achieve my ultimate designs. But we always end up fighting about it....
For some time now Richard's Sister and Brother-in-law have been offering to help out with wedding deliveries. So on this particular day I called them into help. Knowing that if Jim went up the ladder Richard and I might have a peaceful wedding delivery :)

Here is Jim's action shot!

So you are probably wondering why this post is entitled "my youngest employee"....
Although Jim would probably love to have the title it actually goes to his daughter Madison.

Madison is the newest addition to the Supervisory Team at Fiori Del Sole.

Here is Maddie with the Scorpion Sculpture at the Wildflower Center. (Badge Photo?!?)

Maddie came along to supervise and help out where needed. She was an incredible help and even carried around that flower all afternoon in case I needed it! She also handed me ribbons and I feel that she gave her seal of approval as she smiled when she saw the different arrangements.

Now I know you can make the argument that she is too young to be employed, we did treat her very well by ensuring she take her mandatory breaks. Here she is checking out the frogs in one of the many ponds on the grounds. (She still has the back up flower!) Oh and with her is her assistant Karen (Richard's Sister), yes Maddie has an assistant...she is a very important person in the ranks of Fiori Del Sole.

Now she is telling us to wrap it up! It is wedding time!!
