Baby Blues

I think these pretty little blooms are forget-me-nots. They are from a packet of seeds my SIL Fay sent me as a part of my birthday present back in February. I sowed them in seed trays and seem to have lost the empty packet.

They are in pots now, but I might have a go at making a permanent space for them. I like them nearby where I can see their tiny cheery faces. And can keep them well watered.

 

Persist and Resist

When I saw this pot on my friend Barb's blog, I knew I'd found the perfect birthday present for my sister-in-law Fay who's been a steadfast member of the resistance in Charlottesville for some time now. Fay is my hero.

Fay has marched and carried signs and stood up to speak truth to power. She was there protesting at the rally where a woman was killed when one of the neo-Nazi/white supremacists drove a car into the crowd. And still she persists.

When I contacted Barb (her website is HERE) and asked about buying the pot, she said it wasn't for sale but she'd make me another.  And she did and I had the pleasure of meeting a long time blog/Facebook friend in person.

Happy birthday to Fay and many thanks to Barb for the perfect gift!
