I’ve heard a lot of motivational speakers in my lifetime, and all of them seem to send the same message. The message usually includes the importance of having goals, disciplining yourself, maintaining a positive attitude, and the ultimate challenge – dare to be different.
I’m ready to add a few flowers to my landscape, but I’m waiting until after Easter. I’m waiting because it’s what my Maw Maw Jello taught me. She was the person who instilled in me a love of all things outdoors. In one of my earliest memories, she is kneeling next to me, showing me the difference between a weed and a flower. She taught me to throw used coffee grounds and eggshells on azaleas, to plant when the sun first begins its’ descent, and to always wait until after Easter before adding new flowers to the garden. So I will.
