If you didn't know I'm growing my own flowers.
(Canterbury bells, zinnias, dahlias, cosmos, delphinium, lupine, coxcomb, strawflower, scabiosa etc..)
Garden has always been a passion of mine. It takes me back to my childhood of my grandpa and his Garden wearing the same button down shirt and jeans he always wore, as the sun beat down on his face. I would wander through the Garden as if I was alice talking to the flowers. I would pick all the herbs and smell them. My favorite was always the dill I was absolutely enamored that it smelled like pickles!!!
(My boys pick the herbs in my garden these days) I watched him work away in the summer heat as the long day turned into afternoon we would cool off under the tree with an ice cold pop (as he called it)
I look back now not realizing how special those moments were and knowing my boys won't get that same experience of knowing my grandfather and the patient teacher he was . Eventide I'm in my garden I wonder what he would think of the hard work I have done?!
