Looking to the Future

From the film referred to above comes a wonderful idea by two characters, both spoken to the same other character. That is, putting in a garden helps one look to the future. What a lovely idea. The two men and a little girl make a beautiful garden for the lady of the house. This is in Italy after a bombing tragedy drew them all together.

So this Monday Amy is planning to bring some of her numerous hollyhocks from her land and plant them out back against the house in a bed shaped like fifteen minutes of a big clock. Yesterday we bought some yellow coreopsis grandiflora that attract butterflies. ♫ This fall we’ll divide the yellow irises in the front yard to share with the back “garden.” I especially like yellow flowers, mixed with white, in the yard. Perhaps white peonies out back too.

You see, I am looking to the future.
