A Poppy for my gardening friends


I haven't had my computer on for two days, so am behind in my posting (not to mention gardening). My father is 91 and is trying to still live by himself with the help of hospice care. I'm trying my best to honor his last wishes and make his remaining days as independent as possible for him, which is what he wants most. Wouldn't we all? But the last several days have been very challenging.

Today I took the whole day to myself to redo one of the gardens in my back yard. It felt great, and even though every bone in my body hurts, it's a good hurt. I will post some photos when it is more "camera ready," as we used to say in the graphic design world.

I want to thank all of the wonderful people who have left such kind comments on my blog. It brightens a difficult day to find a comment waiting me and I wish I could sit down and have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine with each of you. Gardeners are such a soulful lot... It's good to know there are other people who face the same challenges and share the same excitement that a few plants and a little dirt adds to one's life. I did take time to take a few photos and offer this one in honor of my fellow friends and gardeners. Thank you so much.
