Pretty Flowers
Went to the park
I don’t stay long these days
Too many people not wearing face masks
Stayed long enough to visit Ginger’s grave
She passed 3 years ago, her ashes here
A quick flyby to tell her I love her
The spot we picked was behind a bench
I go there year round and sit and visit
With Spring a lovely bunch of new plantings
Snapped this photo and left quickly
Sometimes I stay and watch the river
Barges and tug boats are always a thrill
Slow and steady
I like that

Author's Note
My dog loved to sniff flowers, anything fragrant
These didn’t have much scent but were pretty like her

Dear P,
Very sweet remembrance. With the finer weather rolling it calls to mind the hours spent riding with my horse. When I had to put her down I thought the world would end. It didn’t but my riding days did. This write and those flowers reminded me of a spot we’d pass on our rides. Lovely piece. H🌷

Dogs are the embodiment of love...
This is a beautiful poem - your commitment to go visit even in these times when it's difficult. Ginger was obviously a special girl. ❤

Ginger was fiery and sweet all rolled into one.
She was a Pointer, Rottweiler and Irish Water Spaniel. As I like to say Do the Math.
I miss her every day. Stubborn as the day was long, she made me laugh every day !!

I love that the flowers blossom so beautifully there. I like to think she's encouraging their growth for your pleasure. Sending you a message that she's always there. Pretty girl and her flowers. So many hugs

Thx W
It’ was a pretty blue sky late Spring day and a perfect time to be with my girl for a few. Can’t believe she’s gone 3 years. I remember her every day. Still my baby.

You’re so right T
One of the hardest parts of life losing your trusty hound. She was a beauty and gave love and laughter everyday.

Thanks NB
Writing these poems keeps me close to her
Though no reminders are needed, she's still with me 24/7
