I have come to the conclusion that a garden, and everything else in this world, is never truly ours; we are but stewards, caretakers for a time and often the fruits of our labors will be enjoyed by others than ourselves. I must thank the efforts of those who have gone before me for the lovely peonies on my table and perhaps some distant lady of this house will one day enjoy my roses! Let us live to be worthy of our predecessors and our heirs!
