Happy Holidays From The Begonia House!




We'll be on break to spend time with friends and family. We wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. See you in 2017! ~ DMS

 Here's Frosty the Snowman for your listening pleasure. 
Fun to sing along. We made our own version too!


Ruby Begonia was a mystery they say. 
With her wild red hair and bright green eyes, 
she was lost on her wedding day.

Ruby Begonia may be sneaking 'round the way.
You won't see her, though she'll let you know, 
she'll be back again one day. 

Clackety, clack, clack. Clackety, clack, clack. 
Where does Ruby go?

Clackety, clack, clack. Clackety, clack, clack.  
Read the book to know. :)
