Diana, I'm glad they were good memories for you. Mom did not need to make the butter as long as I know, but her mother might have done that. I cannot imagine Mom not having any garden at all, but it's certainly shrinking. Always loves her flowers around the house, outdoors and in.<br /><br />Thanks, Peter, for your encourating comment on every post I write. :)<br />And Donna, your mother must have worked hard too at harvest.<br />Thanks all for coming by and commenting.Carolyn R.

She is evidently a great lady and a wonderful mom.<br />I enjoyed your comment too, Diana. My mom's been gone 9 years now, but I remember from my childhood that fuschia was a favourite of hers. She could usually pick up the scent before actually seeing the flowers.<br />~~+~~Peter Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529992196266271463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213977381458736343.post-4214079220905508122013-05-09T15:33:40.175-04:002013-05-09T15:33:40.175-04:00Carolyn, you sparked so many memories for me.

As far back as I remember she used the markings on the butter paper. And not only that, I remember five and a half decades ago on our farm Mom making our butter from the cream from our jersey cow.<br />Even tho Mom's not here now I am going to get a fuschia (always her pick, for the hummingbirds) and hang it where I can watch the hummingbirds come to it. In memory of Mom. A good memory. Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08218916516807680948noreply@blogger.com
