Do I garden because I love it? Is gardening something that's simply in my genes?
In her last years, the Mama would sit in her garden or at the kitchen table and ask, "Who will take care of the garden when I die?"
"Don't worry," I would tell her.
That's what I liked about the Mama. She didn't ever ask me to tend to her garden when she was gone. She didn't want me to feel obligated.
I always worry about the pets of elderly people who live alone.
ReplyDeleteThat's something the Husband and I need to think about.
DeleteMy money's on your DNA. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a younger I used to imagine my dad and I starting a gardening service.
DeleteYou are doing a great job and your mom is smiling from the heavens
ReplyDeleteI hope she likes what I've done to her once front lawn.
