When dear friends pass on, I love to remember them with flowers. Our sweet friend Mildred just slipped away gently a few days ago. I hope this little design will bring some comfort for those she loved, and who love her. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/legacyremembers/mildred-wimmer-obituary?id=36887685 https://www.instagram.com/p/CkJZokmPrZU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Spring may come late to Rexburg, perhaps we could call it early summer, but when she arrives, she is beautiful #romneyplace https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZh6o3PAmx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Designing a floral spray on an easel PART 2

Designing a floral spray on an easel

One Sunday morning, just before he passed away, Dad opened up and started talking about his military experiences. I was clipping his nails and he came alive with memories of learning Japanese, traveling across the Pacific Ocean, and arriving in the war zone just as the battles had ended. His job was to interview prisoners. Most of the men in his original complement had been killed, whilst he was at language school, so he had this thread of guilt, or luck, or divine intervention that preserved his life. He served willingly, and lived a long productive life until he passed on at 95. I still get tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat when I recall the wonderful seven gun salute at his interment in Salt Lake City. My hat is off, and my hand over my heart for all the grand veterans out there who have served to provide safety and freedom today. I pray we will learn to live worthy of it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWJV1k8FeP_/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you have not felt the skin of a Lemon Elberta peach slip off the tender flesh, or the ping of a canning jar lid as it seals, your life is not yet complete…. #romneyplace #romneyplacehorticulture https://www.instagram.com/p/CTmuMMeMgPM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Just like clockwork, the sun goes down precisely where it should for the vernal equinox, but winter’s grip brought a surprise reminder that nature can follow her whims as she wishes... #romneyplace https://www.instagram.com/p/CMySE24BMZT/?igshid=gynvw3sr4baa

Beautiful blazing sunset, but still fast in winter’s embrace... #romneyplace https://www.instagram.com/p/CK27EtvBIDz/?igshid=wlyp2103lz2z

Gratitude has proven powerful to dissuade the darkness, but of all the powers we mortals can feel through the storms of life, I think forgiveness is the most powerful. I am grateful for a creator who also redeems, and makes repentance, and forgiveness possible. https://www.instagram.com/p/CIH3WmehkTP/?igshid=1bz5vmozm7bsw
