Happy Memorial Day!!

I am late…. at planting, pruning, prepping, and potting. There are gardenias to replace (thank you, dogged winter) and much overall work to be done. But John and I will get to it….  I’m sure of it…. pretty sure…

This month we celebrate Memorial Day, one of our most revered holidays. I am reminded of the wonderful Blassie family from Missouri, whose brother, Michael, was a jet pilot in the Vietnam war, and the first unknown soldier to be exhumed and positively identified through DNA testing several years ago. For generations, their family has selflessly served our country. This year, I have the opportunity to celebrate with their entire family – and it is an honor!

Kay and I leave this weekend for a women’s conference in Laurinburg, North Carolina. En route, we will swing by the airport and pick up one of my lifelong friends – and we can’t wait! Maybe we can talk her into sharing a song with us….

We love you, and we hope to see you soon. Happy planting, bountiful blooming, and keep those clay pots watered (right, KP?)
