Love...

I have a garden of my own,
Shining with flowers of every hue;
I loved it dearly while alone,
But I shall love it more with you.
(Thomas Moore)

Today, thanks to my sister, Jan, and brother-in-law, Gary, I got to share my garden with Bernie & Theresa two of my faithful blog readers. It was great to meet you and I do love to show the garden to others. They presented me an awesome cast stone made from a rhubarb leaf that I will share in a future post. Thank you!
Today's topic is love and the favorite flower of today is the only one I have with love in it's name. "Love Lies Bleeding" amaranth, another heirloom plant you can find under "Burpees Heirloom Seeds". I love it because it is very tall and showy and the birds just love to eat the seeds off of it. I save the garlands and decorate the garden Christmas trees with it each year.
It is gorgeous up close - almost like a string of beads.

But here is the main reason for today's "LOVE" topic...today is our 31st wedding anniversary and I am as proud to say "I love Jeff" today as I was way back when.
