Morning Glories from Big Jim July 2008

The summer of 2008 finally arrived, but due to "startling and unexpected life events" I did not plant any flowers in my backyard.

None.

Not one...

This in itself is so very sad on so many levels.

But I have clearly have connections. The gorgeous morning glories Big Jim and I planted from seed in 2007 - in pots, mind you - struggled forth from the soil I left in the pots and stretched themselves up and around the hanger of the pots, sprouting heart shaped leaves, growing larger and larger. Then from the slender young vine burst forth...

Perfect blue morning glories!

The image above was the third morning glory - the water droplets at the top are actually on the back of the flower.

Below is the second morning glory that bloomed - notice the heart shaped leaf.

Life has its ins and outs. As humanoids we forget special dates some times, like birthdays, etc or we forget to call, having become buried in the physical world "to do's", but the loved ones who have transitioned - they don't forget... they don't get caught up anymore. The angelic entourage, they are always, always available - no matter what.

Some women wish for a dozen roses in a vase. I've been profoundly blessed with volunteer morning glories - a dozen of them budding on the vine to be enjoyed one or two at a time - how much more blessed could I be???

Thank you, Daddy, you really know how to touch a girl's heart...

Kate and Big Jim - Love never dies...
