A FEW OF MY FAVORITE GARDEN PLACES AT HOME


God is in the details...


The kiss of the sun for pardon,
 The song of the birds for mirth-
          One is nearer God's heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth.
  ~Dorothy Frances Gurney~





























Somewhere in every garden, there must be at least one spot, 

a quiet garden    seat in which a person-or twopeople-can reach
 into themselves and be in touch with nothing else
 but nature.

                                                   A cup of sun... 
a daisy...
a thimbleful of snow...
a leaf turned red from frost's first touch...
this much of God I know.
~Joan Walsh Anglund~


                                                                                A bird does not sing because
he has the answer, 
He sings because he has a song.
      ~Joan Walsh Anglund~










                                                      
                                                                                           






"I don't know why young people
 don't have herb gardens anymore.  
They are too busy shopping 
for vegetables at the store." 
~The Fruitcake Lady~


The setting sun says all words the day has left unsaid.
