My grandma lived on a farm in southwestern Virginia. She loved flowers and reclaimed an unruly hillside from weeds, transforming it into a beautiful garden seen by all who traveled the busy highway running in front of their property. I'm told one of her favorite blossoms was the peony. Indeed she must have loved me dearly to let my little baby hands anywhere near those treasured blooms! Growing in my garden is a little peony plant retrieved from her hillside last fall. I love this sweet photo of me and my dear grandma. Thank you, Mom, for giving me all these precious photos to restore.
