my mom is so idle now a days after she got sick, and i wish i could come up with some activities for her to do because she always seems unhappy with sitting around. i’ve taught her a few things on the computer and how to do different stuff on the net but i think she would prefer something more her taste.

my mom used to really love gardening and i remember when i was a kid she was always planting and weeding flowers and stuff outside around the large tree in our front yard and in a small garden on one edge of our property. she can’t do that sort of thing now, because she can’t bend down for a long time and even minor work seems to be stressful on her body. i’m thinking of getting her a couple of window box planters, so she can enjoy some flowers without having to go dig and be on the ground where she can’t get up easily.

i think it would also make our place look a bit nicer with flowers! its been years since i saw her plant anything. we still have tiger lillies that bloom around the tree every year but she used to have a lot of different flowers and they were really pretty. it would be awesome to have window boxes full of beautiful flowers on the two big windows on the front of our house.

window flower boxes don’t look that hard to install so i would probably be able to get them put up without much hassle, or if i can’t maybe our neighbor can help us out. they have some on their windows as well so they probably know how to install them!
