Heat waves = blossoms! I've been staying in to try to stay cool. Meanwhile, out in the garden, things have been happening!
This is the 3rd anniversary of my mom's first heart attack, which spelled the beginning of the end. Why would I even remember that? Because the weather was much like it is now... just not quite so crazy hot and humid. And amazingly, it is all the plants that were her faves, and that I planted in my memorial garden, that are doing the best. Please enjoy. :)
