Yes indeed. If those early forms go away we are all in alot more hurt than we may first realize!

I'm sad for you! I'll keep you in my prayers.

Thank you thank you, what that lady did fits my personality so well, I will be looking around at 2nd hand stores for unusual parasols etc, that say "Wendy is the flower lady of these dahlias ", I.E. Tigger, Pooh, 3 Stooges, Jesus, It will be for kids , that is for sure next year I'll have to add kid benches "inside" the secret dahlia place :)

Thank you for your comment, it really has been mostly fun over the last 15 years. When kids come every year with their parents , they have really grown in 15 years !! There are some down sides to it when people steal and also, I have to bring the flowers in every day about 1 pm as it is hot here in grants pass OR, but I really do enjoy it. I am very social, but stuck at home a lot because of health issues , so I have always enjoyed my Flower Lady table and title. I truly should and could write a book of the stories of the people that buy flowers. One nice young fella about 20, he comes by about every 3-4 days and buys $1 worth, and his dad died 3 years ago to cancer, and he puts the flowers he buys in a vase by his dad's urn. Oh my, those stories and so many others are huge blessings ;) ure glad God made flowers so pretty ;)

It sounds delicious. Hopefully, I'll get to the point that I could make pies out of the fruits of my labor.

I enjoyed just eating off the vine. I also love eating sungold cherry tomatoes with bush beans while I'm watering.
