Joy Journal #35: March 16, 2024

My mom loved to garden. She was an artist and she brought her creative abilities into nature. She never followed a formal structure or a plan. She figured things out as she went and tended to plants in her own unique way.

The spring before she went into long term care for Alzheimer’s disease, she planted bulbs in my beds. A bunch here, a sprinkling there. There is no rhyme or reason. Now, every March, the daffodils, tulips and crocuses pop up across my yard in the most unusual of places. They creating a beautiful collage of bright colours; and I see my mother reflected every time they appear. #JoyBlogging
