As I've posted before in this journal, my grandfather (Papa - see corresponding tag) was the center of my childhood. I wanted to be exactly like him

Nice to see you back..:) And I enjoyed read about this experience of yours.

Thanks! I'm glad to be back as well. I missed writing each week.

I really need to write more often. I just get weighed down and have a hard time doing it unless I have a reason to.

I love my garden. My strawberries are fab. The grocery ones suck, and I refuse to eat those. Wish I had blackberries. Maybe a future project. Basil....mmmmmm........
AAw

I tried to grow strawberries this year but they didn't take. But I think that's because the mouse dug through and ate the seeds. However, they didn't tough the herbs so that is interesting.

Ooh, I enjoyed this. It is making me wish so much I had the time and energy to plant a veggie/fruit garden for/with my son.

I'm growing some herbs indoors right now. Maybe you could try that.

Thanks! I enjoy remembering them.

I like the sweetly nostalgic feel of this piece. My husband doesn't have any pictures of his childhood, being estranged from his father, and it makes me both curious and sad.
