Letting Go

The hardest thing I've ever had to do was let go of my children.
But I had to.  I had to let them experience the world.  I've always
enjoyed my independence and I want that for them, too.
But it is so hard to let go.......


















But so worth it....  Oh, what beautiful pictures are sent home!
















Wow! How wonderful to share our children's lives!  Makes it
easier to let go.....

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
Love,
Lottie

Cucumber Miracle

I was watering the garden today and I looked under the 
leaves of the cucumber vines.  I couldn't believe what I saw!
Is that a baby cucumber?
:-) 
No...it's a miracle!

Miracles happen everyday, change your perception of
what a miracle is and you'll see them all around you.

Hope your day has been full of miracles!

Pothos - Still Gardening

It's 100 degrees in South Carolina and I'm still gardening!
This time I'm rooting pothos.  I love pothos because they can
stand low light or fluorescent lights for part of the  year and
I work in a large library with no windows.

About three weeks ago I cut off some stems and stuck them
in a jar of water.  Just kept filling up the jar...that's all.

This jar of pothos is about a week and a half in the water.
I put them both in new pots today.
It is still too hot to be doing this.
They both turned out well.  
I think I'll stop gardening for  awhile until it cools off.   People
are more important than plants.  I think I'll call someone who
needs cheering up tomorrow.  These plants can wait!
Love,
Lottie
