in memoriam

a good friend used to buy a bulb garden for her grandmother every spring. it became a bond and a tradition. after her grandmother passed away, her husband began buying her a bulb garden every spring, in memory of her grandmother. you married extremely well, i told her. well, she said, i did coach him. so he buys you a bulb garden every spring in memory of your grandmother and in addition to that, he’s coachable? you married extremely well, i told her.

    • hi betsy,
      it’s just one of those baskets of about-to-bloom bulbs you can buy at all the florists this time of year.
      the little plastic label stuck in the basket called it a “Watch ’em Grow Bulb Garden” so i used the same name.
