Pink Petites by Bethany Deschamp

May 20, 2017

those who really know me will be proud to hear that i have kept a plant alive for an entire year. and yes, i know this is an annual or a perennial or whatever it is. it’s a plant that grows back every year. but that is neither here nor there. the point it, regardless of whether it should come back, it did. which again, is a huge life accomplishment for me because i do not have a green thumb. part of it is truly because i just don’t care and another part is because i forget to, you know, water and nurture plants. apparently that’s a big deal, or something. but as the spring flowers began to bloom this year, so did these pink petites.

that’s another thing about me, i don’t know plant names. i just make stuff up, like “pink petites” or “that purple thing over there.” and while i don’t place much faith in our front yard plants returning each year, i was really happy to see this little pink plant come back. i have a soft place in my heart for it. it was planted last year after our daughter was born, as i wanted a little something pink for our front yard. seeing it bloom this year made me a happy mama. and darn proud of myself for not failing this little plant.

okay, okay. my husband watered it all year. but those are just details.
