…….I look at a garden the way I look at life…..it is always in transition……….Somethings die…..and others take their place………The Lilacs and Pansies lived their life….They were beautiful and gave me lots of joy….but now they are gone. I told Franco to remove the pansies when I wasn’t home….the way I used to have him remove them when Jac wasn’t home….it’s very sad…..but….the pots weren’t empty for too long….we quickly replanted the pots with new summer annuals that will have all summer to grow and flourish…..They will once again bring me joy all summer……until the fall when once again the pots are emptied, cleaned and stored away for the following spring……The circle of life………However, that’s a long time from now, and I have all summer to enjoy them…….The climbing roses along the drive are almost in full bloom and look and SMELL glorious! They too will soon be gone, but the Black Eyed Susan’s along the drive are growing tall and come July will be blooming. They will Last until the fall season too…….Another TRANSITION……The seasons are coming and going too quickly! ! !It’s already mid June…..Is that because I’m getting older, and the days fly by?…..Well, as they say……”STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES!!”
How lucky you are a garden by the sea. One of my life long dreams.
Beautiful garden. Beautiful sentiment. Know that you and Jac are not forgotten.
