I tear up thinking of chubby hands plunking in seeds so carefully and little watering cans flooding the flowerbeds. I loved EVERY minute of it and so I've learned to love every moment now as well... and keep hoping for the grandchildren to do it all again! :-) Thank you Annica, we garden mamas all relate!

Really hit home for me. My gardening journey has been quite similar to the one you describe. My eldest will be a teen next week and I was just looking through pics of her naked in the garden w/ blueberry stains on her lips. Sigh... Thankfully she still loves to tinker w/ me and forage her way through the yard on her way to new vistas. Sigh... It goes by so dang fast doesn't it? Time has no manners, really. Beautiful post!

Each a part of me and my gardening soul. Thank you Helen, for taking time to visit and comment!

Whatever gardening genes I have, they were not passed on to my children, despite my best efforts to awaken the gardenlust. We love other things together. Perhaps one day... Sigh.

LOL! February seems to skip by with all the fuss of planting. We'll be outside before we know it... Why do we trust that old groundhog anyway? LOL!
