"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow"

 I was surprised to learn that the title quote is attributed to Audrey Hepburn. I never would have guessed, but I've come to understand that she loved time in her garden.

It makes me think of marigolds.

Wayno always had marigolds. I don't remember the exact story, but one year at his birthday in NYC, 6 out of 10 guests at his soirée brought him a marigold. (Use your imagination). Every birthday after that he received a peck of marigolds.

At Wayn's wake, everyone was given a packet of marigold seeds that he had saved, with "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow." printed on the outside. It should be noted that to the best of my knowledge, not one seed propagated.

Tucked in a little nook in my garden.

Salut, Wayno!
