Growing up if there was ever something you didn’t want to eat or a chore you proved unwilling to do my mother would chime in with what has became her catch phrase “it’s good for you!” She has said it countless times over the years. I have told her that if she keeps it up we are going to put it on her headstone. Ya know, a little levity for the afterlife. I called her today, as I hope you called your mother. We talked about plants until my phone died and then I called her back and we talked about plants some more. My mother could pick up a twig out of a ditch and grow you a National forest. It’s pretty incredible. She’s a seed hoarder and she has a cool green house full of experimental clippings and tree frogs. It’s smells earthy and alive and that’s where she likes to be. Humming and buzzing around the yard. Caring for this and tending to that. Making the world a more beautiful place to be.
