Photos from my Mom's garden

The flowers are such a bright, beautiful contrast to the real mood of the garden this year. Mom always found such enjoyment in the flowers and no matter how busy she was with other things; she made time to tend the garden. She even put in a gold fish pond a few years ago. Now there is no one to care for any of it. Well, Dad could...but not really. He has a tough enough time seeing the flowers, blossoming in defiance of the grief around them.
