Lavender and Tickseed

The build up for Easter was intense this year

and

then, it was over so quickly.

I feel a little sad about that.

The good thing is, that if I want it to…..

Easter can live in my heart all year long.

***

My Larry works very hard.

When he works from the house,

{no outside meetings}

He will work straight from 7 am to 7 pm.

The good news is that he is drinking more water.

The bad news is,

I have to nag him  {like an old fish-wife}

to step away from his desk for a break.

Yesterday, he took me to the local gardens at his lunch hour.

His idea! YEY!

We came home and he planted what we bought.

It was wonderful.

When I came home from the hospital last month,

Larry used the fine ART of Zen Rock Balancing

stacking a few treasured rocks next to the gazebo.

It is a sweet calm place now…and it was a priceless gift for me.

Yesterday he planted

Coreopsis grandiflora {Tickseed} Isn’t that a yucky name?

and

Lavender plants, near the Zen rocks.

On his lunch hour!

I sat in the gazebo and watched.

As he planed the last plant…it started raining.

It was time for him to get back to work anyway,

but what a lovely lunch with my Larry.

The good thing is,

it will live in my heart forever.

Love you beyond the Tickweed plants.

    That is so sweet for him to do that on his lunch hour. One day I will find someone and would only hope he would be even close to Larry. A true gentleman.
