My friend's husband called me yesterday to help with some paperwork. As I was leaving, he pointed to some lilies freshly planted in deck boxes. They have a beautiful horse farm with gorgeous flower beds. She had ordered flowers that he had never seen last fall and they arrived yesterday. He does landscaping so they must be very unusual if he had never seen them. He very carefully removed one and put it in a bag for me to plant by my barn so she would always be near. I cried. Now it is planted here and I can't wait to see what it will look like.
Last fall we took apples from the trees in her pastures and I made wine. It was a blast trying to get the apples before the horses did. Every time she shook a tree I had 3 horses sneaking in from all directions trying to beat me to it. The horses got a lot of them because we were laughing so hard. We should have about 20 bottles after final filtering. I plan to label them with a picture of her and her show mare and open one every mother's day until they're gone.
It's been a very long week and I'm still a little numb but I woke up today and that's better than the alternative. I've concluded that when I'm taking my final breaths I won't be wishing I had spent more time at work, so I'm going to be easing off a little at work and giving more energy to things that matter in the end.
