A Busy Gardener

I love this time of year!

Gardens are getting cleaned out (or built)

and the planting begins!

Happy Planting!!!

Side Roads

The more side roads

 you stop to explore, 

the less likely that life

 will pass you by. 

 ~Robert Brault~

Reflect

Reflect upon your present blessings -- 

of which every man has many -- 

not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

~Charles Dickens~

Wild Places

The mind I love must have wild places, 

a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass,

 an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two,

 a pool that nobody's fathomed the depth of, 

and paths threaded with flowers

 planted by the mind. 

 ~Katherine Mansfield~

Close

Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet. 

~Vietnamese Proverb~

Be Very Quiet

There is always Music 

amongst the trees in the Garden, 

but our hearts must be

 very quiet to hear it.
~Minnie Aumonier~  

Welcome

If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.  

~Hal Borland~
