The Garden

When mom and dad moved into their new home, there was no garden. There was just this patch of soil that ran through the side of the house. The soil was parched; it didn't look like it could nurture flowers to life. Fast forward to today and the garden is just beautiful. After hours and hours of tending, planting and replanting, water and fertilizer, the garden is full of life. My mom has a green thumb and she would spend hours in her garden--adding plants, taking out old ones, looking at each and every bud, breathing each of them to life.

Here's a peek at her garden:




Blooming potted flowers (Not being a green thumb, I have no idea as to their names)





A one-winged angel watching over the greens





This marble table has been with us forever





Everybody's favorite spot
