Love the pictures! Trish did you say that our blog could be made into a book? Or a picture album or something? What an idea! Maybe David could help you, could edit some things.....
Addy, you are becoming quite the "Mrs. McGreggor"! I am proud of you! Gramma would be proud! Grampa would be verrry proud! Our garden shrivels everyday and then we water it in the evening. Looks great the next morning. It is in the 90's for the week coming. But God knows what we need! I love that BUT GOD!
I was pulling the suckers from our tomatoes the other day and got the clearest picture of Mommy in my mind! She was standing in her garden, her back slightly bent, and she said, "Bobby, I love this time of year, I love to smell these when I break them off!" She had one of the old tomato leaves up under her nose and was smelling it and just grinning from ear to ear! Her glasses were smudged and sitting just a little crooked, with God's dirt under her nails. Her hair was coming all undone and blowing in the wind with her shirtwaist dress, her apron with dirty patches here and there. She had no shoes on in my vision with her toes in the dirt. She seemed so happy with her life! Some days I really miss her, and right on the heels of those tears I am so glad they are in Heaven! Family let's do all we know to do, to get there!
Oh! and don't forget to pull the suckers off! Come on ya'll share some garden stories with us all! We would love to hear them!
