Ok!!! So, MY incredibly wonderful father is turning 80 yrs old in a couple of weeks. I wanted to surprise him with something special.
He has Parkinsons and his memory is really fading.
Up to a couple of years ago he was able to have a veggie garden and sometimes still cuts the grass. However, during the winter he always gets pneumonia and is miserable. I am flying him to Tampa to spend some time with me in March but wanted to have something special for him on his bday.
I called his wife and asked if I could fill the space that is no longer used as a garden with 80 daylilies, So, when he looked out he could know how much we love him. Also, he wouldnt feel the void of the missing garden.
She wasnt too keen on the idea and said grass had now covered the area..and who would tend to the weeds...etc??? good point.
Anyone have any great ideas? My husband said 80 tall blondes..
lol (j/k) but I would like my dad around as long as possible!!!
He used to fish, but now is unable. He cant drive anymore or ride long distances. He fatigues easily.
This is such a huge milestone considering all of his previous health issues.
I hope you guys have some great ideas.~~
Thanks, my friends
