Happy Mother's Day to my mom.


I've posted about this before (and I'll probably do it again). My mother planted some pink petunias in this pot in the summer of 1996. Sadly, she died suddenly the following winter. After all those years these flowers still come up every year. Same soil, same pot. Petunias are sold as annuals but this is proof that under the right conditions everything is perennial. Or maybe my mom is saying hi to us every year. Happy Mother's Day to a great mom!

That is so wonderful! Petunias, and love, are everlasting.

Also, I lost my mom years ago, in 1974, and I still miss her. Oh. So. Much.

Now whenever I see petunias in the spring I will think of you and your mom. Nice to see them again.
