There has been an interesting change happening in my life the past year as I have focused more on Madamn.
I have suddenly become obsessed with plants, especially flowering plants. 
What is even more fascinating to me is hearing stories of my great grandmother was quite brilliant with flowers.
Not only did she have flowers growing on all 4 sides of her house at least a foot deep, but she even managed to have flowers (I think it was irises?) that grew in the cracks in the sidewalk.
I grew up thinking I was terrible with plants, but I really just didn't know anything about them.
Between channeling great grandma and Ernestine and Theo's guidance and instruction as I have worked on this novel, plants are suddenly finding me.
Yesterday I was given 2 large ones from a friend and a mug full of herbs I can use or try to plant and grow.
Isn't it amazing how much a person can grow from the influence of others, even across the decades?
