Today I am preparing for the two big boys joint Birthday
party… I can’t believe my little’s are three and five already! As I was dusting
and picking up in the kitchen and living room I decided we needed a pop of
color, so I meandered down to the garden (with my 28 lb. one year old strapped
to my back) to pick some flowers. I carefully selected each one. I wanted to
make sure and have even amounts of all the different colors, because that’s how
I roll. ;) I found some gorgeous zinnias in every shade of pink, fuchsia, and
red…and then added a few giant marigold’s for good measure. I came up to the
house with my freshly picked pile of sunshine and began to arrange them when a
“wave” hit me…HARD. I miss my Grandma so much and she would be so proud of me
for growing and displaying these flowers as I welcome friends and family into
my home to celebrate two of my little men tomorrow. I have never enjoyed
gardening before this year, but I can promise you this, I will never look at
another flower and not think of the care and consideration that was invested in
it… And I plan to have as big of a garden as I can maintain from now on… Just
to honor my sweet Gram. She would be delighted to see me up to my elbows in the
dirt! Cheers to my Gram for all she taught me…I am forever grateful!
