garden Sonya It will be the most wonderous thing Mother Nature has ever seen. I don't know if she'll be envious, but it'll be very close. For you I'd lace jasmine flowers into an arch where we both could stand. Rows of dahlias would giggle whenever we walked by. Their petals would be upturned in smiles. The sunny daffodils would be scattered here and there, bringing cheer where needed. Perhaps they would wipe away your tears... I would plant circles of lilies, of crimson, white, and tangerine. And in the very center...especially for you, a single red tulip would bloom. My heart poured into the soil and blooming against the sunlight.

Puppy-proofing. Shiloh was happy when my brother or I tossed a root over the fence. Dandelion leaves went into the salad I made for lunch, which Mom refused to eat. Radishes are coming up from last year's seeds, not the ones I collected but the ones that fell: yes. Y. and I cleared some of the oregano patch. My brother did most of it. I was temporarily annoyed when he pulled up a bunch of mint. The mint sprigs I rescued are in a green glass jar, maybe for another salad tomorrow. Tomato plants, cucumber plants, and a cilantro plant went in. Spinach and remaining seeds for tomorrow. I haven't been able to work at all on my novel today, but can you eat novels?
