Missing and praising Mothers
I enjoy it!
definitely we think of and miss our mothers every day every day! But mother's day is a good time to zoom some particular energy in her direction whether here or, fine, "web hosting,
I have friends who will visit graves on Sunday and other people who, Mired in a lonesome and annual funk, Will not be interested in anything. I also know of people that will dress up a bit more for church wouldn't their mothers approve! And maybe spend more time with an older friend who has played a maternal role.
As botanical gardens whole prepare for the annual Mother's Day surge of visitors this week, A very good and long time friend took me to the Atlanta Botanical Garden on Sunday to show me something special her family did there to honor her mother who died almost two years ago.
margaret (1915 2009), Also a longtime friend of mine, Was a founding person in the Botanical Garden in its infancy when it was run from a trailer in 1976. "She didn't do it for social points why, Her little girl, Patricia, exclaimed. "She just really liked to perform in the dirt, (I can vouch for that as I have a thriving crop of ginger lilies copped from her luscious garden where peonies have reached bountiful bloom.)
Fontaine Huey, The Garden's director of institutional progress, documented, "My early memories of the garden always included Margaret" And long time board member and landscape designer Sylvia Attkisson recalled a conversation with Margaret previously about the pitcher plants she had growing in bog areas at the family farm, Sunnyside, In North the southeast.
Because of Margaret's love of Sunnyside and a lot of stuff outdoors, Her husband Randolph and all five grown children margaret, Patricia, Laura, Randy and Mary wanted to ensure that her generous bequest to the Garden would reflect her botanical interests and loves. affirmed, The recently dedicated Margaret and Randolph Thrower Sweetbay Magnolia [-censured-=https://www.love-sites.com/signs-that-you-can-recognise-when-a-vietnamese-lady-is-into-you/]how to tell if a vietnamese girl likes you[/-censured-] Grove pays on many levels.
The handful of deciduous sweetbay magnolias are younger versions of folks been growing at Sunnyside. Their green leaves have a silver underbelly, And the creamy white flowers we spotted one early bloom the other day have a little lemony scent which Margaret loved, likewise. The red cone fruits are tasty treats for wild turkey, Quail and songbirds all considerable at Sunnyside.
The trees in this obituary "grove" Are on a heightened patio, Alston do not realize, With a beautiful view of the City of Atlanta, Also dear to Margaret and the assignee in many select ways of her interests.
"What's wonderful about the assembly world, Huey said, "Is that you have the privilege to glimpse into a family and their lives and why they are doing something for the Garden, She recalled a couple who came in previously and who, After traveling the gardens, Expressed an interest in purchasing a kinetic sculpture Tendrils, Gingko Leaf varieties, 2008 by using George Sherwood, To honor their parents who had a short while ago died. They had received a modest gift of money, Huey said, But didn't need the money and wanted to take steps for the Garden.
Huey said the development office has the capacity to direct gifts to support the Garden, regardless of what size. Gifts can sometimes include books for the two libraries, Bulbs for the spring tulip festival or a $10,000 teak bench by the commemorative plaque. at this stage, Members of this group left bequests of an unusual level in their wills.

My comment is focused on my younger Sister who died in 2000 of her second, unrelated cancer. A few days before she died she and I were hanging out together just reminiscing about our time of growing up together. we both loved hummingbirds and as we reminisced, We watched the tiny birds at her feeders by your window. She told me any time she was gone, She wanted me to think about her everytime I saw a hummingbird and I promised her I would. when i bought it of her Memorial Service the next week, I wished to share that with everyone but did not feel up to repeating it myself, So I wrote it down and the minister read it aloud for all to talk about. I even told it to my friends on a Quilters Chat using the web. even today, These many long years later, I have several people all over the USA the World who E Mail me to tell me they "Saw a Hummingbird today e-mail, I had the idea of you Marilyn, The people who attended her Memorial Service also tell me that they still think of her when they see a hummingbird, Whether oahu is the feathered kind or just a fingurine, Note pad or on a unit card. I have two feeders outside my bay window so I think of her often every time they come to feed and when I put new nectar out for them. it is very comforting for me and I whisper her name "Marilyn" any time I see one. I have pictures and trinkets of Hummingbirds in every room of my house so Marilyn is with me every day and will be until I join her in Heaven.
