I will never forget helping my mom with the garden a few years ago. The phone rang and my mom went in the house to answer it, so I started pulling some "weeds." She came out of the house after getting off the phone, and in seeing what I was doing started to laugh with a panic-striken voice and said, "Angela, honey those are not weeds! You are pulling out my _____" (some unique flower she had ordered, I don't know the name of them). We replanted them very carefully. The next time I had gone over for a visit, she showed me what I had pulled out... they were indeed beautiful flowers!
That was the last time I helped pulling the "weeds."
If you are very still, you might get a faeire sighting!
Your mom's garden looks like a tranquil place. She obviously has a green thumb, her roses are fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYour mom's garden is as lovely as her house...she must hate to go anywhere...with that home and garden I would just stay home and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great story! And what a gorgeous little piece of heaven she's planted.

ReplyDeleteAngela,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your photos...they're just beautiful! And the ones of your mom's house are so inviting and warm!
I also wanted to comment on your earlier post about not commenting! (I'm behind in my blog reading these days and trying to catch up.) I too have read many blogs and not commented. You've challenged me to give the gift of commenting as well. I have to say I have loved meeting new friends (like you!) and am going to work harder at connecting more often!
Blessings on you my friend!
I so admire gardners. They have a special creative urge, it seems to me. The pansy you took a photo of is just beyond believing. What a great job. And you've got to love the Columbines. Beautiful garden!
ReplyDeleteI spy fairies!
ReplyDeleteAwww....you have some of the most beautiful pictures ever! Your mothers garden is simply beautiful & you really have a good eye & skill with the camera! I can imagine meandering through her yard ever so slowly to take it all in! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteyour mom's garden is so inspiring as i look out at my barren spring yard, waiting for me ~ this is my first spring in this house and my very first garden and i have no idea what i am doing but am looking forward to watching things grow and take shape :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a tranquil place to just be.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of "The Secret Garden." Such beautiful photos, Angela Marie.
