My 1st Garden Award

After having my stuff locked up in storage for the last 3 years it was nice getting it all back. I èd been thinking of my mother lately and woed over her passing away several years earlier. I only just wished at that moment,that she could know how much more I appreciated her and how I never got enough of her warmth love and affection and searched feverously in my memories for moments where this moment did occur.

When I got back to the task of opening boxes , the first i opened surprised me with a letter from my mother sitting on top. I opened it quickly to see what the letter contained . And there inside with the letter a zerox copy of a newsclipping from the Toronto Star on that very same day August 12 1941.

My Mom and her sister raised six dollars and ten cents for the English war Veterans children fund . It was also all from the bounty they grew with their very own hands in the back garden.


Well this letter appearing like this on the very same day so many years later must mean something.

Well Mom it did and two days ago my Garden was awarded in a new catagory created for the competition. Garden of Marvels and Fantasy. The fun part is I was not in the competition. They notified me to the fact and Gala event , which followed with Wine & Cheese and petit fours.

So for the Green Thumb, I am thanking my Mom.
