Mother's Day in the garden

I installed the fountain in the pond.

My lavender is finally taking off after 3 growing seasons.

Ah the fragrance! I want a lot more of this.

Ed and Mary spent all afternoon cleaning out the pool pump house and cutting brush. All of this is headed to the dump.

I planted wave petunias in the flower boxes on the pool pump house.

and hung the pretty urns that Mary brought back from Italy a few years ago.

My mother always had a large garden and she used it to feed her large family. What she didn't cook and serve during the growing season, she preserved (canned) and stored in the cellar to be eaten in the winter months. Happy Mother's Day Mom. I miss you so much.
