Being a gardener myself, I love #2! It actually reminds me of my own gardening wish recently granted. For several years, I’d been trying to cultivate anise hyssop, a licorice-scented flower known to attract butterflies. I probably bought at least five different plants, put them at different spots in the garden, and every one of them died. Then just last year I bought a new house. My first summer there, I noticed, at the edge of the woods that form the back of the property, an enormous stand of wild anise hyssop. We’ve got plenty of butterflies, and I even drink some licorice tea now and again!

How cool! It must have been meant to be.
