My mother kept a garden, a garden of the heart. She planted all the good things that gave my life its start. She turned me to the sunshine and encouraged me to dream, Fostering and nurturing the seeds of  self -esteem. And when the winds and rains came, she protect me enough- but not too much -she knew Id need to stand up strong and tough. Her constant good excample always taught me right from wrong, markers for my pathway that will last a lifetime long. I am my mothers garden. I am her legacy and I hope  today she feels the love reflected back from me .

Well puttering in my shed I found this birthday card Jennifer gave me a few years back ,it warms my heart and makes me smile  when ever I read it  I keep it in the garden shed   and I will cherish it always.  I tidied up the potting shed this afternoon and poppys are sown and will stay in the shed till March  9th then inside under the grow lights  Grow stand is  cleared off  keeping it down in the basement it seems to become a catch all when its not being used.  My trays are set up and ready for planting but I will need to pick up 5or 6 more trays and some pots for the trays as some are just too worn out .  Talk about worn out Rudys passed out on the sofa  today we dry  walled  part of the ceiling in the garage Rudy made a t -bar and he hoisted  the 10' sheets up the ladder and I held the other end up with the t-bar untill he could fasten the sheet securly to the studs. It was a back breaking job but we managed to finish a section and tommorrow he will work on the walls.  Saturday was a great day hanging out with my girls and Cathy shopping for wedding and bridesmaid dresses  Jennifer found her dress and the bridesmaid dresses as well everyones happy  I am glad weather did not prevent me from keeping our shopping date. :-)   Work tommorrow expect my seeds by Friday at the latest once I have them sown then I will get back to working on the house  starting in the spare bedroom    Lunches are made time to go relax for a few minutes then call it a night
