A person might wonder why I would make a graphic with ice cream cones on it. When I think of ice cream, I think of Kathy. We had many a laugh about her craving ice cream, and getting it when she went to do laundry. That was a treat she thoroughly enjoyed, and looked forward to.
 
Kathy loved the Garden, the people, and she loved life.
 
Here is one of Kathy's favorite poems:

 

LIFE 

Life is a gift to be used every day,

Not to be smothered and hidden away;

It isn't a thing to be stored in the chest

Where you gather your keepsakes and treasure

your best;

It isn't a joy to be sipped now and then

And promptly put back in a dark place again.

 


Life is a gift that the humblest may boast of

And one that the humblest may well make the

most of

Get out and live it each hour of the day,

Wear it and use it as much as you may;

Don't keep it in niches and corners and grooves,

You'll find that in service its beauty improves.
