I was at the airport today to pick up Calvin. When it was my turn at the counter I gave the agent my driver's license. She looked at it and said, "Oh, I live close to you, I live on Meadowlark." I said, "Oh, I used to live on Meadowlark Curve." She said, and I'm not kidding, "Were you the one with the roses?"
Yes, I was the one who begged the townhouse association for a variance so that I could plant a dozen rose bushes around the windows at our townhouse. I had never seen this woman in my life. It was totally random. When you plant a garden where there wasn't one, people remember. Even ten years later.
So, my mom and Savannah and Calvin painted sunflowers on a barn. A woman driving by stopped to say she was happier already just watching them paint the flowers. She would be a little happier everyday.
You never know what little beautiful things affect people.
