Thank you for sharing that w/us BP. I have goose bumps now. I think it is a telltale sign that your Mother is there w/you. I lost my sweet Mother a little over a yr ago, and sometimes the strangest lil things will pop up to remind me of her. I can't explain it, but then~ I guess that's the way it's supposed to be. Those subtle lil ways of our Moms' letting us know that they are close by.

take care and I really appreciated hearing about your shoo fly plant. I don't think I know what they look like. May you have a good day and hang on to those amazing memories.
