Thanks for your kind words. As I suggest in my blog post, the flower ladies bring back warm memories for me, too. I suspect that I or someone in my family probably bought some flowers from Mrs. Farrington at some point.

Nothing, but tears right now… For the recognition of the flower ladies. My grandmother passed in 1989. Thank GOD I was so lucky to be raised by while mom and dad were at work. Up until the age of 12. She was my great-grandmother, but, we just called her grandma. Salina McCauley (maiden name) Farrington. She is the one on the right end. With the yellow, white blue and a couple of other color flowers in her dress. The gentlemen was covering her face with his wrist while trying to purchase a flower. My grandmother was so many things. Seeing this brought back childhood memories of helping her pick the flowers to sell on that bank of america breezeway. Thank You so much. Have a wonderful memorial day.
