For that matter, which of her children, dared not to grow and achieve as we lived, also under her loving care. I find it harder to grow without the gardener, but comforting to remember earlier feeding and pruning.

Mother's Day Remembrance
For that matter, which of her children, dared not to grow and achieve as we lived, also under her loving care. I find it harder to grow without the gardener, but comforting to remember earlier feeding and pruning.

What a picture! I was thinking last night that Mom was 44 when I left home and that except for a few months at home, I rarely saw her for the last 30 years of her life. The imprint she left on me, however, was not lessened by these rare visits.
Mother, whose vineyards would flourish. How much she loved the garden, even though it was a necessity to her all of her life. Thank you, Judy. This one is really a gem.
Mother's garden was a place of magic and wonder to little ones and gratefulness to older ones.
I'm sorry to be late in posting a comment, but I can't let this go without adding my thought. Mother taught us all about surviving, and that when times got tough we had better get to work. When I came home from our trip to Arizona and found my tomato plants (under hot kaps even) frozen around the edges, my question was, "Ok, Mom, what do I do next?" Unless I am mistaken, the answer was something like "get busy - move on - don't sit and cry over something you can't change, etc." I will always be thankful for the lessons she taught as we lived each day.
It's okay, Ann, I haven't commented yet, either. I have looked at this picture each day trying to commpose my thoughts that it generates in my mind. It's such a sweet picture and the smile on her face shows her love for God's creations and I can imagine her looking down on us now with that same loving smile. Your analogy is beautiful, Judy.
I loved all of the sweet thoughts about Mother. Joleen reminded me that I forgot the beautiful iris that is directly in her gaze.

They ran away. Our blog must have a ghost.
Maybe noone will double check the comments, but I thought I would try to remember what I had said that got deleted. Several thoughts entered my mind as I looked at the picture - the smile on Mother's face made me think about how she loved God's creations. And I can't help but think that she is looking down on us with that same tender smile.
