Back on our property (the same property I grew up on) we have a memorial garden set up where we scattered my father’s ashes. It’s a very tranquil spot and my mother planted some very beautiful plants all around that bloom at different times.
It’s been a very rainy season this summer and this morning I found these huge mushrooms growing near the garden. They are so unique looking. It gave me a chuckle also as mushrooms were one of the foods my father detested. I remember him saying anytime he saw people eating them “yuck who wants to eat fungus”. I always laughed when he said it.
I am going to run to the store later and buy a few “fairy” items and let the kids create a fairy garden around these. I think they would enjoy that and I know their Grandpa looking down on them will also.
Too funny that your dad detested mushrooms yet they are growing in his special memorial place! I love that you are creating a fairy element to your garden, too 🙂
It could be your father who gave he mushrooms what they needed to grow! They will be just right as part of a fairy garden.
