I share those feelings with you. I've been gardening this yard since the day I moved in, or maybe the day after, almost 31 years ago. My best friend, Gabrielle's Galaxy's final photo was of her in the grass sniffing at a dandelion. I started planting peonies to honor each cat, dog and person who died since I moved here, but it got to be too much. Keep gardening.
