Hey Marydon: Remember me? I'm Dixie (wvrags~W. VA.) from Wild Wonderful West Virginia.
This is for you love ~
The red roses have opened completely and the edges have started to turn and wilt.........."But not our friendship"
The daisies have lost some petals...."But not our caring"
The carnations are standing tall on their own with wonderful color "with love to a special someone that went out of her way to .....make my day"
The beautiful rose bow will be saved for a special memory of Marydon Ford
May our friendship grow more and more each day. You can call our home...yours.....anytime you need a place to lay your weary head.
~I LIFT A GLASS OF WINE AS A TOAST TO YOU AND YOURS~
LOVE TO YOU AND HAROLD............Dixie

That is just so sweet. Love the tomatoes all lined up.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful note from Dixie. You touched her very deeply Marydon.
ReplyDeleteNow for those tomatoes. Do you know tempting it would be to use those as target practice? Nothing dangerous, maybe just some rocks, but I guess that would dangerous too. I just can't stand it though I need to knock them down with something! LOL
Hugs to you and Dixie, and Harold too :-)
I bet those maters are goood! Nothing like a tomato samitch in the summer time.
