I have to say I am blessed with some great friends at this stage in my life. As some of you know, I was raised as an air force brat (although I believe I was far from being a brat) so I moved every couple of years and thus, best friends or any friends what so ever were hard to come by, hard to keep. Thus...I am blessed now to have the ones I have.
My neighbor, who has been a wonderful friend in the few years we have lived next to each other, has definitely been a blessing in disguise...for many reasons. Selfishly, I have to say, one of the things I enjoy the most is her shared love and passion for gardening. Many a day, I envy her gardens...so like the ones I had for many years in Houston but for some reason, I haven't been able to attain them here as I would like. And that...bothers me...particularly when I am at a garden center looking for a gift or spring vegetables.
I have created a couple versatile garden areas, vegetable and floral, that provide me with some much needed creative digging in the dirt. I have a hodge podge of plants that I enjoy each year as they surprise me and come back after the long, hard winters. One of these plants, I attained from my friendly neighbor. This bleeding heart...which I actually thought I had lost when we first transplanted it over here two years ago. But this year, it is already sharing it's many hearts with me.
A plant...filled with hearts...given as a gift from the heart...which truly...warms the heart. (smiling)
