Just a caretaker

I rescued this geranium and it's matching pair from my neighbor Irma's front steps.

She was well into her 90's when she passed away several years ago. These and other plants of hers were left out while no one took care of her house. She lived across the street from me. It has been several years since she passed away and the dead marigolds are still in the house's planter box!

Irma showed me you could keep geraniums over the winter. Something I never had considered was possible. I've had some of my own for many years and I don't know how long she had these.

I think of her and hear her Latvian accent when these are blooming. I'm just the caretaker. They will always be Irma's geraniums.
