We planted these mums in August of 2006 after I learned my
cousin had lost her battle with breast cancer.
I could not just sit and cry after I got the call from
my son that day....so my husband took me to
get mums and we spent the evening planting.
I am glad we did.

I'm so happy they are surviving and blooming each year.
I'm so happy they are surviving and blooming each year.They remind me of her.....miss you my dear cousin, Debbie.
She loved working out in her yard and before she
became ill she had a wonderful little
rock and fountain gold fish pond.
I wish I had drove to her home
and spent more time sitting in the swing
by the pond visiting......but I thought
we would have years to grow old together and
talk about our grand kids.
Her first one is a girl and will
be here in Feb. 2011.
that is a beautiful arrangement!! what a memory for her. I kind of did the same thing when a girlfriend died - I have plants that she gave me planted all over the yard - she was such a gardener and handed off plants all the time - it is like part of the yard is a memorial to her.
