Me as a lilac tree.  

Why pose as a lilac tree?  It made her laugh.

(And I do do other plant impersonations as well.)

And so the work of Remembrance & healing gardens goes… we talk design layout & style, next maybe about irrigation, next we decide what-tree-would-you-be-in-this-spot, and then… quietly, the painful loss that prompts the planting of that tree & the design of that garden.   In this work, my God this work, my clients and I share so much.  We deal with hard things, and thankfully, oh God thankfully, we enjoy funny things.  The medium of a garden makes it so easy.  

Humbled lilac, am I.
