When I shop at Walmart I frequently park so that I enter through the garden section and peruse the selection of plants as I enter the store. This past week as I wandered through the blooms I was delighted to find Cosmos flowers in full bloom. I couldn't pass up $3.50 cents worth of fond memories. About ten or so years before my father died he rediscovered Cosmos. His mother had fields of Cosmos growing on their farm when he was a young boy in Idaho. Each year, for those last 10 years, he faithfully planted and watered Cosmos seeds in our front yard. He was always delighted when the stalk of the flowers became taller than he was.

did you know that the lady who delivered the mail, told us she too loved those flowers?
