When I got to the photo of the guara I realized that is the plant I bought last spring and enjoyed all season--but which seems to have disappeared. I remembered that it had an odd name--but not one I could pull from memory.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-87339280711011590642013-05-01T14:05:05.696-04:002013-05-01T14:05:05.696-04:00Hey Sister, so glad to see you back.

I had never been alone in my life as I had always been surrounded by family. That was a time I shall never forget as I learned that I could do so many things in life that I would have never thought I could have done with out Mark at my side. I found friends and became active in the community. This is when I also learned I was a crafter and could create things in which some one would pay money to have in their home! I really blossomed in that year and have not been the same shy gal ever since. My life was like a rollercoaster. Some days I was on top of the world while other days, I just wanted to close my eyes and scream! The year past and Mark returned home safely to me. <br /><br />Keep your Faith and Embrace every day here on earth and know that you will once again be at your DH's side some day...<br /><br /> Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-75586288294677530922013-04-30T08:02:58.188-04:002013-04-30T08:02:58.188-04:00Lovely to see you back after your little break.

As you say, there's no rush really. <br /><br />You made some great purchases at the plant sale, and you've got some quite lovely white flowers around you at the moment.
