Oh, the smell of spring is in the air.

I believe in the power of prayer. I am sad to say that my dad was just diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. He is having excruciating pain in his back due to the spread of the cancer. The pain medicine helps a little but not much relief. It is a difficult time for my whole family and it hurts me to see how much pain he is having to endure. I love my dad so much and we are taking it one day at a time and remembering that each day is a blessing.
If you don't mind...please remember him in your prayers. Thank you so much!
There's no place like Austin, Texas! In this gardening blog, I have tried to focus mainly on native and adapted plants for Central Texas! I think it is the true secret to a successful garden in this great state!

Blessings for all of you at this time. Take care.
Beautiful photos. Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Never, never, never give up. There is always hope.
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad, and especially that he is in so much pain. Praying for you both.
Oh, sweet Amy, so sorry to hear this. I will absolutely keep your dad in my prayers. And you too. Lots of love to you.
You have my prayers, and so does your Dad.
Amy, I'm so very sorry to hear about your dad. You're in my thoughts.
*sigh*
So sorry to hear that. I share your situation, and while I don't think a prayer will heal anything, I know for sure it won't hurt anybody, either, so I'll keep your dad and your family in mind.
Oh Amy, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. My thoughts and prayers are with him and your entire family. I lost my dad to cancer several years ago and I understand how painful it is. Stay strong! xx!

*prayers*
Oh, Amy, I'm so sorry. Indeed, I'll send prayers your way. I know this is a tough time. But I bet your dad is smiling about those lemon blossoms!
Hi Patricia and Linda ~ Thanks so much.
I have been through cancer with both parents and I will pray for your dad daily!!! You can count on it!
I just said a prayer for you dad, Amy. Laura
Casa Mariposa and Laura ~ that means so much to me..thank you!!
My poor Meyer is still hiding under a frost cloth, I can't believe yours is blooming!
I am so terribly sorry to read about your father's stage IV diagnosis, and I'm so sorry he's in so much pain. I hope his Doctors can make him more comfortable. Sending prayers for his comfort, and for your strength.
Lost my father-in-law two years ago. He did not know about his cancer until it was too late. The hard part for me was getting through the denial of his immediate family when my husband told them. Spend time with him and make great memories to keep. Prayers for strength and comfort to your family.
Amy, I'm so sorry to hear about your father. Have you and your family considered contacting your local Hospice organization? Their focus is on quality of life, rather than on the quantity of days/weeks/months/years left. They are masters of managing pain to make each day the best it can be. (My mother had Hospice services when she was dying, and her experience was so much better and more humane than my father's had been a few years earlier.) My thoughts are with you and your family. -Jean
I just love those Myer Lemon Trees!
Really enjoyed your photographs!
Thanks and keep with your good work.
I will be praying for your dad and for your family. It is so hard to watch those we love suffer. I hope the garden gives you solace.
