Summers and gardens past

My mom' s garden in the distant past. My sister is watering the tulips - so it must be spring. The old hospital is next door so it must be about 1956 or 1957 judging from the age of Kathi.

As I was closing the garage door the other day and seeing signs of fall coming - in the air, in the trees, the squirrels are certainly busy tucking away their winter supplies - I was reminded of summers past.

My mom liked to sit out on her patio and when I was visiting, I was out with her as well. We would have lunch, drink some of her homemade lemonade, look at the garden and what was growing - tomatoes possibly or less possibly strawberries, reading a book, doing a crossword puzzle from the daily newspaper.

It was a quiet place to be and now that place and time is gone from my life and I miss it.
