The spring soon turned into summer and the grand daughters had been on vacation with their parents, so Mema was preparing for them to come stay a week with her.
While they were gone the garden had grown so beautiful and full. The morning glories covered the gate that was standing and had covered the old antique chair that they had set in the garden there was a bird bath with a little boy and girl and a iron plant stand that Me ma's daddy had bought her when she was sixteen it too was covered in morning glories.
Me ma was outside clipping the morning glory vines off her prized rose bush and tending to the dusting of the plants to keep the bugs off of them when the neighbor lady stopped by and yelled oh Mrs. your garden is so beautiful... Mema beamed with joy and thanked her for the compliment.
About the time the lady drove away Pa Pa drove up and she ran to him to tell him all about the lady stopping to say how beautiful the garden was, and Pa Pa replied" of course it is Me Ma, it was planted with the love from your heart and our grand babies heart, how could it be anything else but beautiful"
Me Ma kissed Pa Pa on the cheek and went back to tending the garden ... she was digging and discovered 2 little spheres... one had a sun on it and the other had a moon on it ... she shook the one with the sun on it and all the sudden it made a little musical chime sound... then out of the morning glory something flew out so fast and whizzed right beside her head!
Did you see that Papa? did you see her... see what he asked, "Well I'm not sure!" exclaimed Mema. " It looked like a fairy!"
Papa just laughed and said it was a humming bird my love that was all it was... " I suppose said Me Ma as she scratched her head in awe........
