In my mother's honor....

Creating this rose garden in my mother’s honor was a healing distraction. Now, our whole family calls it “Grandma’s garden,” and it gives me peace; my mom and I had a very complicated, often difficult relationship, but roses were something upon which we both agreed. 😊

When my mother passed, three lovely friends sent me rose bushes, and the Rose of Sharon in the foreground, which will burst with white flowers in a few weeks, is courtesy of my wonderful agent.)
