May has finally brought some well needed rain; and the flowers are looking refreshed. Many are smaller than usual; I think the early March heat, and the April frosting confused them. They don’t stand quite as lush and tall, and some seem a little behind in growth even with their way too early start! But, it’s looking lovely. This weekend, the dahlia bulbs will go in, and maybe some marigolds.
We’ve been thinking a lot about Nana’s husband this week, Great-grampa Jules. We heard some music he loved, watched a movie he would have enjoyed, and told a story or two to his great-grandchild. In the telling, I missed him – he was a marvelous story teller (although his jokes and puns were a little too original at times!)….
I’m still hoping to obtain a small amount of your cremains to put in the back of the garden so that you might join your wife — at least in our thoughts. And, sorry to say I will plant a few tomatoes in there in your honor too!
