A Tribute to Edna

When flowers bloom in our yard, my neighbor and I recall our former neighbor Edna, who brought many lovely plants back from her South Carolina hometown. This array of daffodils is a perfect reminder of her generosity, amiability and love of beauty.

Edna was refined without being snobby and always pleasant and charming in our encounters coming and going. She set a standard for neighborliness that we have seldom seen since. When we see these gifts she left behind when she moved back down south, we give thanks for the years that we had her in our lives.
