Thirty-some years ago, my mother gave me some starts from hers which we planted around our acre soon after we moved here. All but one of them are shades of pink/lavender. Only one is white and it's at the edge of the woods, unseen by anyone but my husband and me. It's magnificent standing there as a white beacon with all the green foliage behind it. Only once did I ever pull up one of its "babies" and plant it where it could get a good start, hoping to get another white one growing. It was right where my husband pulled it out when weeding. But then I began to notice that you can't really choose a color - they'll turn out whatever the Lord intended them to be. The huge pinkish one below my back window, planted beside a clothesline pole, after all these years has a white one growing up beneath it! I've never bothered to read up on them, they just amaze me at their unique way of propagating their colors in their own way.<br /><br />This is another one of your beautiful poetic posts, Hildred - thank you for being uniquely you!!! You are truly an inspiration to others, God bless you always.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367791485727217874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31566611.post-51270320784047508812019-07-22T22:41:04.739-07:002019-07-22T22:41:04.739-07:00When it's hot outside it's probably best n...When it's hot outside it's probably best not to over-exert oneself.

Both these titles make me want to read another. Hill Top Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417478558713036325noreply@blogger.com
