Emily’s garden had lots of flowers. All sorts. In my mind’s eye it was always blooming. She loved flowers and birds so I have included robins, blue jays, a sparrow, a noisy crow. There’s a squirrel too because there are always squirrels. Emily and Felix raised chickens. This was before my time but was legal for a while in Chicago and not unusual. Emily was good at dispatching them. She made an excellent chicken soup. On the top right the cherry tree from the front yard has moved to the back yard and the bright crab apple tree on the left actually grew in the neighbor’s yard, bending over the fence. You see peonies, crocuses, foxglove, ferns, roses, poppies, tulips, morning glories, daffodils, sunflowers, and daisies. Emily holds a heavy bouquet of lilies. Look closely and you’ll see that the spiders have been busy too. Tucked into the red roses is a small shrine. Emily had a special devotion to the mother of Jesus. Felix sits on the back porch, reading the Polish newspaper, smoking a cigar.
