My grandmother, Jessie was quite the gardener. She had a lovely vegetable garden every summer. It was surrounded by a white picket fence with a center brick path that led to a brick grill. In addition she grew beautiful flowers. Hydrangeas and peonies had huge blooms, and gorgeous pampered roses. I am so fortunate that the home I recently moved into has a great deal of blooming gifts. Someone planted many flowers. It was a bit neglected, but I am so enjoying bringing it back to life. I am blessed with a bed of fragrant Lilies of the Valley, and my grandmother's garden had Lilies of the Valley, too. They are one of my favorite flowers. I love the delicate little bells and and the intoxicating fragrance.

You are so fortunate to have found a new home with a built-in garden just waiting for some TLC, Nancy!
