Don't you just love the reminders God gives us every day?  This hydrangea my mom gave us about a year ago. The plant was not doing well, and mom had no room in her garden.  She knew we were planting some flowers in our backyard.  Pretty much looking at the plant, there was no hope.  My mom was an awesome gardener...she could make anything grow, but something was wrong with this plant.  Karl planted it with all the others but we had no hope.

This past spring, we could tell the leaves started getting green and bigger..  A few weeks ago the first bloom came!  It was beautiful!  I cut of the bloom and went and visited momma's grave.  It was fitting that Momma got to see the first bloom.

The plant now is blooming and getting bigger and bigger every day.  I am enjoying being able to look out our back window and see the beautiful flowers, reminding me of Momma.

Momma, I miss you everyday.  I wish I could hear your voice one more time.....but I know you are here in our hearts.  I love you!
