Snapdragons

Happy last week of June!

Didn't we just celebrate Memorial Day...I mean, really...where did this month go??

So today, I'm linking to Judith's final Mosaic Monday.

Hasn't she done a fabulous job since she took over this fun party?

Her creativity and beautiful photography, along with her expertise in gardening

has certainly made this something to look forward to every week.

I know Judith isn't leaving us,
but I do hope Mosaic Monday finds a new home!

I have loved snapdragons ever since I was a little girl.



Mom always grew them and I can't look at one without it bringing about an image of her...

on her sweet knees, weeding her precious garden.



She has been gone now for over six years but having a few of these in my own garden
somehow makes me feel like a part of her is still right here with me.



They really are such unique little flowers, don't you think?



I remember as a child making them "talk" to each other.

Or maybe this is more like it...."open wide and say ahhhhhhh!"

Did you ever do that?

Surely, you must have.

Each individual bloom looks as if it might just open it's mouth and start talking all by itself.

Wouldn't that be a hoot?!

I've heard of people talking to their flowers...

...but the flowers talking back?

Only in the imagination of a young girl...

...many, many years ago :)
