Sweet Pea

When I first met my wife, she had a small blue wildflower thriving in a a little clay pot on the windowsill of her dorm room.   We have always had beautiful gardens in the many homes we have lived in all over the US, because of my job-related moves. A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expends effort on them.
