A wonderful thing has happened this spring.
My zinnias have made friends.
My zinnias have made friends.
How did this happen?
I started taking them with me when I went to special places to see special people.
*They stayed behind at a friend’s house after a ladies' get-together.
*They went with me to visit a dear teacher friend one afternoon to talk about her house .
*I gave a small arrangement to the mother of a very dear friend when I went to visit.
Her mother and my mother were friends.
Many of you know my friend.
It is Nancy of Nancy’s Notes.
Isn’t she wonderful?
And so my zinnias were there when her mother reminisced about my mother.
I will always treasure that afternoon.
May I make a humble suggestion?
Find a container; dig up a sunny corner in a flower bed.
Plant some zinnias.
It is so rewarding.
