The Queen Anne’s Lace is a blooming here in East Tennessee and looking good -
I refer to this plant as, “Uncle Tommy”, but I honestly cannot remember the specific reason as I write this, which is frustrating.
Uncle Tommy refers to Tom Taggart, my former uncle by marriage.
Interesting fact, I worked for Tom at my first real full-time job out of high school - The Faxon Company, which was many years before he would unknowingly become my uncle by marriage.
He was a terrific boss and an even better uncle. Sadly, he passed suddenly in early 2000, shortly after I bought my house in Franklin. I sure could have used his guidance and carpentry expertise over the years with all the projects that were done, he was very handy and great with that stuff.
He fondly comes to mind when the “Uncle Tommy’s” are in bloom and this year is no different.
