    About this ebook

    For most of her life, Jay W. MacIntosh (born Janet Tallulah Jewell) has loved flowers. It started when she was little. When her mother planted vegetables, she planted flowers. When her mother harvested carrots or lettuce or squash, she picked flowers. As she grew older, she knew most of the homes with fresh flowers in their yards. She knew hedges with flowers and yards with jonquils and tulips and narcissus. Her love affair with flowers continued. In later life, she became interested in photography and began taking pictures of roses. This book is a collection of her favorites with selected quotations. "It is wonderful when someone can turn their passion into a book and shares that passion other people. Jay W MacIntosh has done this with her book "Moments in Time." What started from her routine daily walks and her own love of flowers and beauty has now become a book that can be shared with all. I find it very uplifting to be able to look through this book and view the pictures of the colorful flowers. Jay W MacIntosh has capture the essence of beautiful flowers. I particularly enjoy the pictures of the flowers that are moist. It looks like the flowers have just been watered. I bought this book for my mom as a mother's day gift. My mother really loved it. It is a great gift for those special occasions and for anyone who enjoys nature and beauty." - Randi S. Klein, California Attorney.

      Moments In Time - Jay W. MacIntosh

      Dedicated to Steve

      Introduction

      For most of my life, I have loved flowers. I think it started when I was a very little girl. Mother would plant vegetables in the back yard, and I would plant flowers. When Mother would harvest carrots or lettuce or squash, I would pick flowers. As I grew older, I knew most of the homes that had fresh flowers in their front yards. I knew which hedges had flowers and which yards had jonquils and tulips and narcissus. And so it went, throughout grammar school, high school, college, and later – my love affair with fresh flowers. Flowers were my pick-me-up out of depression. Flowers made the Thanksgiving table special. Flowers made the Sunday sermon bearable. Flowers made the Dixie Hunt Hotel lunches on Sunday fun! Each table had a vase of fresh flowers. Mrs. Benson at Benson Florist probably did the Dixie Hunt’s tables. She did the flowers for all of the marriages, funerals, and special events. Her showroom was always filled with arrangements. Mr. Benson probably did arrangements, too, but he did most of the
