I am very sorry at the loss of Aunt Peggy. I have a pleasant memory of our visit to Longwood Gardens. We had stopped on our way to Grandmother Boone’s funeral in November, 1985. We missed the chrysanthemum festival, but Aunt Peggy took great joy in those that were still blooming. We admired the fountain in the Italian gardens and she showed me details of plants in the greenhouse. It was a lesson in finding small blessings, even on a cold November day.
