A Few Blooms for Casey

 Adult Casey, age 7 years

 

I planted a few blooms for little sweet Casey girl!  As most of you know by now, our precious little 14 1/2 year old Shih Tzu, Casey, passed away in early February.  Actually, two months ago today.  I decided to take this bird bath and plant flowers in memory of her.

She is missed terribly and my heart still hurts for her.  This little area at the back fence in the back yard represents her joy and love.

I envisioned making this spectacular - full of gorgeous blooms - but the fact is there's a lot of shade in this area and only a few annuals do well in shade.  I narrowed it down to impatiens and / or begonias -- since the impatiens at the garden center looked close to death, I went with the begonias.  So, on day one, it's not as showy and pretty as I'd envisioned, but hopefully, as the spring and summer days greet us, these will grow and I'm confident they will be beautiful to me.
