So many wonderful memories of Les, I'll miss the emails,
but will cherish the memories.
Over ten years ago Les gave me a lasting gift, after his dog Lilly died,
I stopped by and transplanted some of his Lily of the Valley, and took the last gallon of water that was sitting there in a plastic jug for the dog's water bowl.
When I got home I realized in the middle of the clump of plants
was also a very small tree.
I planted the whole clump and watered it with the remaining dog water.
The tree has grown and grown over the years and every few years
I would send a photo to Les,
the Tulip Poplar tree is huge and towers
higher than the house.
It's a great memory that keeps growing,
so grateful for this!
my condolences to the Chappel family.
