dearest Em.... we have indeed been extra busy with
arranging the papers in your every day life. No serious problems... just :catching up". Our grandchildren will be visiting in the next month...
so I am doing a lot of preparing also. Lovely that you would nudge me. I need sisterly love and caring.
I would love to be a part of a miracle cure. We certainly need prayers. tenderly, Pat

Such great memories of when me and my older brother(whom has passed way to soon), were young and playing in the rain. I guess rain makes more happy than just the birds and flowers. As my grandparents always used to say, in our darkest hours, rain comes as the teardrops from heaven when you need a special visit! Such a great read as always :)

dearest Gene… twenty years ago I saw a beautiful Garden with Portulaca in part shade and part sun… they are like very small close to the ground miniature Roses… with soft stems entwined and tangled… no Thorns… and like to be a bit moist as they Cuddle. This is the first year I acquired some already started and placed them under a Maple tree with some Sun. Lovely to meet new people and new flowers. Love your review. Hope you are Cool in the Ozarks. Gently, Pat

Dear Pat, you always come up up with a flower I don't know of, you must be an expert.... A beautiful Haiku in which rain makes lowers and birds very happy, lovely images and thank you, I've learned about another species of flowers!
Best, B.

dearest Betty... I remember when and where I discovered Portulaca "moss roses'.. they are so fragile, but hardy at the same time. They love the Sun; however, I water them in the cool of the morning or evening. A Reverent and his wife had a Gardner who brought them new plants every Spring.
I do not believe they are a perennial. My Mother grew Roses and they appeared each year. She also "China painted" flowers on "China Plates and baked them in a special 'kiln" that her Art teacher had in her home. I would sit through some of the classes. My Mom painted a china Cup and Saucer with Violets and delicate green leaves. truly, Pat

dearest John… there is a flower called Bird of Paradise that reminds me of your words. Be still and listen to the wind… gentle one by the Sea. Your words are so soothing. Thank you… truly, Pat

I identify with this...those were the two things my mom liked best, as well.

They would have been great friends, your mom and mine.
