Thankful Sunday, May 17, 2026

 I am thankful for flowers and the memories they bring.

As I was walking around the yard yesterday, I realized that many of the flowers I saw have a special person associated with them. 

This rose bush was a retirement gift from a dear friend.

These Siberian irises are from our previous house. I gave some to a friend, and years later, when we moved, she gave me some back for my new house.

These irises came from my aunt's yard. 

These helibore came from a friend, whom I met at the library. 

These irises came from Ward's grandmother's yard.

This rhododendron was a gift in memory of my mother. It is West Virginia's state flower, and it blooms in what was her favorite color.

So for these beautiful flowers and the special memories they bring, I am thankful.

Until next time...

    1. There are more plants that I didn't show that have special associations with them. I hadn't realized I had to many until I looked around.
