They were a bright bouquet, a smiling garden, precious flowers. There were tired days, childish squabbles, and messes to clean up, but mostly there was love and laughter. School is done for the year and all but one of my small flowers will be spending the summer with mom and only two will possibly return next year. Though I have
plenty of ideas of things to do and plan to have a wonderful summer, there is a little piece of my heart that is sad too. Whatever is a gardener to do without her flowers?
Will there be new seedlings in the garden? Will there be a garden at all? Will I be resigned to only grandflowers? Will I have to steal them away for the day just so I have a little one to snuggle? Only time will tell. In another week or two I will have a new grandbaby. Now there is something to look forward to!

Martha, you have the most precious garden of all. I can imagine you will miss those little blossums.
ReplyDeletethey are all so cute!
ReplyDeleteanother grandbaby? awww...how fun! Is this one going to live close to you?
I'll miss Andrew climbing up on my lap and twirling my hair when I come over. :(
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to meeting new grandbaby. It seems a bit surreal to me since I have not seen Leta since before I knew she was expecting.
ReplyDeleteSo far, Betsy, all my grandchildren are close. It's rather nice. :)
