Happy Birthday, Mom

My Mom died three years ago, in 2004. I still miss her terribly, and especially so when I am in my garden. Plants from her former home, that I dug up, and replanted here, still bloom annually. I suppose you would call that a "sweet sorrow".

Anyway, not to be too maudlin, today would have been her birthday. Happy Birthday, Mom. You are in my thoughts, and in my heart. I love you.

Small Towns

Until we moved here when C. was 5 years old, I had always been a city girl. I can't say that I don't still prefer the city (and fully intend to move back to a city within a couple of years), but small towns do have their advantages. Below are images of the wildflower field across from my son's high school.
One more pic. I love these French lilacs that I planted two years ago from a cutting given to me by a friend.
The swatches below were taken from the close-up image of the wildflower field
