cannas revisited

Several years ago when I lived in Burleson, there were cannas all along the fenceline, well nurtured by the septic tank lines. They have a propensity to be prolific, and needed to be thinned periodically, so several went to Nolene. When I moved, I didn't get around to digging up a few to take with me.

Time went by, and while I planted several things at my Alvarado house, cannas weren't in the mix. Nolene's cannas still prospered.

I've been here in Mansfield a year now, and this year I've been able to work in the yard a bit. When Nolene said they were clearing out some of the cannas (Joe had already mowed some down), I jumped at the chance to get a few. I've put some in the front, some at the side (mowed by Joe!), and still have a few to go in the back with Troy's mums.

Have a good Memorial Day weekend. Take time to remember and give thanks for those who serve and have served to keep us free, especially those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
