As much as our yard needs help, there are clues all around that a fantastic gardener once lived here. Molly owned our home for 50+ years. I have a hard time stepping into her shoes. My neighbor remembers going to a bridal tea for Molly's daughter, Nanette, here in the home. Ribbon sandwiches were served and items from Nanette's trousseau were displayed in each room accompanied with a bouquet of fresh cut flowers. My own memory of Molly's flowers comes from when I was a little girl. We went to church right down the street from here, and each Sunday Molly brought a beautiful big bouquet of flowers she cut from her yard for the congregation to look at during the services.
Here are the roses that I cut out of the yard today:
They smell heavenly! I wish I had more vases to bring more inside!!
