PTL!

As I was driving off base on Thursday, I decided on a whim
to go by base housing and just ask about the plant.
All they could do was tell me no.

I walk in and talk to a guy about it.
I explain myself and share with him
that I know that I should of gotten it while I was still
living there but I didn't.
I explained that my mom bought me this particular
lilac and that well I'd like to see if I cannot dig it up
and take it to my new place.
That I would be willing to cover the hole, etc.

He looked up something on his computer and told
me that right now no one lived there, but would be
at the end of this month. He told me if I can get the plant
and ensure that it looks decent after I get it, that I can get
it by the end of this week!

Isn't that amazing!
I almost stood there and cried and I wanted to hug
the guy, truly!
And even though they don't read my blog, thank you
Belford Beatty for allowing me to get my plant!

So I dug the lilac up and took my azalea too as well as my rhododendron came back
to the new house and planted them all! I tell ya it was glorious planting those
plants in their new spots!
I had to get some soil as the place where I will do my gardening is all sand.
So I carefully placed all 3 plants in soil and then covered them totally in soil as well.
I am just prayerful that they take, grow, and are beautiful!

I am sure my mom is smiling down upon it, and I feel so
blessed to have it here in our new home as well! It is a part of
my mom here in the new house with us!

Here are a few of my new PT creations that I just recently did!
I had a fun time playing off the theme of these papers!


I hope that today you find the same joy that I did planting those plants!
