“Gardenias” by Mary Sheehan Winn

Gardenias make me smile. When Reginald (our 14.5 year old Jack Russell) went to the “Rainbow Bridge”, a friend sent a gardenia plant. With each blossom we had happy thoughts of Reggie. It lived for a while in the house and then started to look stressed. We wanted that plant to continue to produce those gardenias year after year so we planted it outside and crossed our fingers… it lived! It produces flowers every spring… since that time we’ve planted several more. A bloom or two can make the house smell intoxicating. A sure sign of spring and happy days. Our gardenias are full of buds, so soon they will be blooming like no one’s business! This sweet painting makes me happy… A great job by artist Mary Sheehan Winn, an artist from Massachusetts.

Another favorite… you can feel the sheer happiness of this dog! I love it!
