Grandma donated a new pipe organ to her church.
From the old organ she saved 2 of the largest pipes. For me & my sister.A freshman in college, I skipped my senior year of high school, I asked Grandma why she saved the pipes.
She said, "For your garden."
.
Ha, smart enough to get into college early I saw zero use for an old organ pipe in any garden of mine.
.
Regret is carried in the form of fantasizing where I would put an organ pipe focal point in my garden. Better, having conversations with Grandma about where to 'site' the organ pipe. Of course it's very Amy Tan, The Hundred Secret Senses, Grandma's been dead almost 3 decades.

The Wall Street Journal had an article recently about old pipe organs being discarded. No good, I want the EXACT pipe Grandma saved for me

We all get back to our own Rosebud.

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
