The rules are pretty simple. One word. Five minutes of writing. No editing.
Garden
I don't garden. I have two plants that I have been able to keep alive for a few years now and I am beyond proud of that. I want a green thumb. I really do. That's just not me though, I've literally killed a cactus, they said it was impossible to do. Well... it's not.
My Grammie, Gram and Gramps all had green thumbs. Grammie had the most beautiful flower gardens. She grew blueberries and strawberries. Gram grew beautiful flowers inside and outside. Always knowing just the right time to bring plants in so they wouldn't get cold. Or just the right time to plant bulbs. Gramps grew vegetables. He would grow the biggest tomatoes you could ever imagine. They were beautiful and delicious.
Maybe it was their tender care that they took with each plant. Maybe it was the way the would nurture each little growing bud. I don't know if it was more beautiful watching them grow these beautiful plants or seeing the beauty that grew in them when their plant would truly shine.
They used their talents to share that love. Sending cucumbers, tomatoes and flowers home with you on each visit. Taking a bouquet to a friend.
Finding their talent and sharing was a beautiful thing to watch.
