Visited my neighbor yesterday. He has such a nice memorial garden for his wife and one for his little dog, Oreo that passed. Such a joy to visit with him, always.
I reminded him to stay inside with this heat advisory we are having. His heart issues and age are also red flags. He said he would, after he cut his grass early this morning. I will keep a check out and make sure he goes inside.
He added this pretty pink lady statue to his memorial garden for his late wife. He said he placed it in the very spot she used to sit in the rock garden. They had just made the rock garden and a few flowers when she got diagnosed with cancer. Since then he has added more flowers and items to remember her.
This pink lady caught his eye while out shopping he said. She loved pink and he said it is like having her in the garden with him. Made me so happy to hear this. I have never seen such a pink statue before. I enjoyed the visit as always.
Photo is mine.

I love that pink lady. I also love the idea of a memorial garden and passed along this idea to a friend recently. She recently lost a granddaughter and I thought of Dustin's garden

@CarolDM it would be so nice if one day I was able to visit and we could sit in Dustin's garden and enjoy the beauty you created

I have never seen a pink statue either, but that is a beautiful decorative ornament to add to the memorial garden. Such a wonderful addition.

@CarolDM if he’s happy, then the statue was well worth it.

@CarolDM I was wondering if it would be difficult to keep her clean

@allknowing Not at all, he hoses her down with a water hose, when he waters his garden. Carefully, of course.

Neither have I, but if it helps him remember her. More power to him.

First time I've seen a pink statue like this. It's very nice of him to add this in his wife's memorial garden.

@CarolDM I agree. Whatever makes him happy and gives him the peace of mind is much more important.
