A Stroll in the Garden

Frog in a little pond can be much happier than fish in a vast ocean! -Mehmet Murat ildan

“We think too small, like the frog at the bottom of the well. He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well. If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view.” – Mao Zedong

*Clicking on a photo will give you a closer look!

“Winter will pass, the days will lengthen, the ice will melt in the pasture pond. The song sparrow will return and sing, the frogs will awake, the warm wind will blow again. All these sights and sounds and smells will be yours to enjoy, Wilbur—this lovely world, these precious days…” – E.B. White

The Garden – Kathy’s Post

Posted on July 29, 2019 | 10 comments

My internet friend, Kathy (you know who you are), just might mistakenly believe that I live in an arboretum, or a botanical park.

So this is a get real post just for you, Kathy!

The following are photos of my garden. Some deadheading happened, so there isn’t much to see.

For comparison, here are spring photos:

The last photo is the future vegetable garden. I don’t have a photo of the current one, but it is way overgrown with weeds now, anyway. The garden is being moved to where water is more accessible.

And no…there isn’t a lot of level ground to work with here. Sigh.

Now you know. And so does the world. LOL!

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?” -Matthew 6:28–29

“This is what l love about flowers. Wherever possible, they just grow; in between the weeds, through a crack in a stone, in the middle of mud or moss – they just grow fearlessly, so confident of their short-lived beauty.” ― Asma Naqi

“Flowers only know to fragrance, nothing else. Be that, to beautify, and perfume the feelings of others.” ― Ehsan Sehgal
