Life is not normal these days. We can't go to church, nor visit our friends or our family either. It's Palm Sunday today. When I was a child we went to church to get a cross made of part of a palm leaf - to remember Jesus's entry into Jerusalem. We read in the Holy Bible, (Matthew 21:7,8) "... and Jesus sat on the donkey. And a very large crowd spread their clothes on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and threw them out on the road." My mother-in-law was born more than a hundred years ago today. She's dead now, of course, buried in Kenwyn. It's not possible for the family to put flowers on her grave today. We would like to go with flowers.
She liked spring flowers.
