Mother built the little path herself as well as a stone patio using little-old-lady-sized rocks. She does all her own planting. I dig the big holes for her. She does the rest. She does have he perennial “rose covered cottage.” She twines pink climbing roses over her porch rails. They are mean. It cured the problem of free-range kids climbing on the rails. Her neighborhood is full of them. She sprinkles flour over tomatoes and warns the kids they might get poisoned. It works. She never loses a tomato anymore. The neighborhood kids used to pick them and her flowers, but now they worry about the poison.
How wonderful to know that your mom is still as sharp as a tack. Loved this one. Hugs.

My grandmother used to have a garden too. I loved it. This reminds me of her garden.
