Freebie Friday - Forget-Me-Not

I am on a flower kick recently and with Mother's Day on Sunday I thought I would add to my flowers. I drew Forget-Me-Nots in honor of my great-grandmother.  Mimi (my great grandma) loved Forget-Me-Nots matter of fact the first one I ever saw was on her grave.  Over the years I never thought much about them until I got a packet of seeds in the mail with a note from my grandma.

"Now that you are a mother you will always look for ways to be remembered long after you are gone.  The seeds are for Forget-Me-Nots, Mimi's favorite flower.  She would go around with a packet of seeds and sprinkle them unsuspectedly as she passed (like a seed bomb).  So I am giving you the seeds to remember Mimi and to make the most of those Forget-Me-Not moments.  Love, Grandma Dona"

I never met Mimi, I knew of her she was a fabulous cook, a nurse, and she had a beautiful voice.  This story of the seeds helped me make a connection with her, a connection I never had before.  I love to think about Mimi walking (dancing) along sprinkling seeds along the way.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day, I will hopefully get to spend time in my garden digging in the dirt, sipping Mint Juleps (it sounds so good).
