    I’m sorry for your loss, and truly hope that getting back into your garden supports your healing.

    It’s basically impossible for me to go to the grocery store without bringing home whatever discount plant I find, lol

    My wife and I made a deal that I have to bring the dog when I go anywhere that sells plants, just so I can’t carry as many to the register. Usually I respect the spirit of the deal but sometimes it’s too much and I use a cart 🤫

      Thank you Lally, I really do appreciate that. It has helped me heal greatly. As odd as this sounds, I feel lucky that it occurred during the end of winter. So as the world begins to show a return to life and color, my own little world is doing the same :) I actually have some plants of hers that I’m tending to now. So many snake plants to propagate!

      Now I’m just imagining a dog in a cart covered in grocery store ferns 😄 but that’s a great compromise!

        💕 after my grandmother passed away a few years ago several of the cousins and I all took cuttings from a number of the plants she had grown around her house, and now every spring she’s still making my world more beautiful. I’m overjoyed that your loved one will do the same for you.
