Leave A Legacy

---

​This husband of mine…

Has a new little family…hovers…nurtures…tends to their needs…brought a little bit of Texas back…planned to create a flowerbed…hoping one day…to recreate a backyard…of bluebonnet splendor…the flowerbed…in an odd location…not exactly the vision of that beautiful wife of his…but the idea is there…if…when…these babies of his take off…there is plenty of space…for them to spread…

Planted in the spring…the growth has been slow…too early…too cold…the wrong climate…then those super duper hot days hit…and what to our wondering eyes should appear…buds…little bud babies…making their Iowa papa over protective…covering them in case of a storm…watching diligently…to keep little cat feet…from doing dangerous trampling…

This old gal…is proud…proud of that over zealous husband of hers…making his dream happen…proud…of those hardy seeds…vowing to defy a cold Iowa spring…and proud to know…that if this little experiment takes off…a gazillion years from now…when residents wonder…why beautiful Texas bluebonnets blanket their otherwise boring backyards…

We will know…that this Texas loving bluebonnet growing man of mine…has created…a beautiful legacy…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
