I know exactly h...Cheryl, this is a beautiful post. I know exactly how you felt and there is nothing like it when these little souls connect with you that way. You 2 are truly soul mates. Most mornings we are woken by the sound of Kyla singing - it always makes me smile and I feel so glad that she is happy and contented at the start of her day, but also sad at the same time as it reminds me that so many poor kids in this world we live in don't have that. <br /><br />I'm glad that your sanctuary wasn't too wrecked by the wind - how destructive the elements can be. I remember years ago looking after my mum's garden while they were in the US on holiday. The work that they had put into this fairly small space was incredible, and like you, my step father had a gift and an affinity with the natural world. We had such high winds while they were away that it made a mess of the garden and I was so upset to see it, and I knew that they would be heartbroken. We did our best to put it all right, but it wasn't the same. They took it well when they got back - it wasn't anyone's fault at the end of the day - but it must have been horrible for them .

Grandchildren can bring tears of joy and happiness with their innocence. <br /><br />I hope you don't over do trying to clean up after the storm. We have had so much rain and wind here that it has been impossible to get much done in the gardens. Even my containers are sitting empty. Grandgirls are coming this weekend and I hope to have them help in the gardens. Take care and have a great weekend!beckiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400859161321357279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-23075638371748155622009-05-15T03:38:00.000+01:002009-05-15T03:38:00.000+01:00That sweet Poppi makes everyones heart sing.

How sweet is the love of a grandchild. I can just see you two, gardening side-by-side, drinking up the moments, singing to the bees and flowers.<br /><br />I've never seen ragged robins. They are pretty. I also like your angelica flower (sorry the name is not right) - the one that both you and Poppi liked. You for the white and Poppi for the liliac. I can see her bringing you a bouquet of these flowers one day, when you least expect it.<br /><br />These moments are to treasure, and bring out on a dreary, cold and windy day.<br /><br />Oh, and I love that teapot! It looks like just the perfect pot for brewing herbal teas. I must look for one! <br />Thank you for sharing your garden and magical moments with us.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788733654505792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6731821301433751344.post-76923419645057636892009-05-14T14:30:00.000+01:002009-05-14T14:30:00.000+01:00Cheryl, this sounds like a perfectly magical day! ...Cheryl, this sounds like a perfectly magical day! I always picture Poppi as sort of a fairy princess spreading drops of sunshine and happiness wherever she goes:)<br />We had strong winds and lots of rain yesterday, too. I am waiting for a sunny and dry day to have two of the younger grandchildren over. They have both been asking me for weeks, "When are we going to plant flowers, Grandma?"
