Quote It Saturday: Garden Bliss

Nature is the master artist, and the garden is an outdoor studio.  Quiet little miracles appear in the spring garden--new leaves, the beginnings of fruit, a burst of flower-color.  Cuttings from other plants, from mint or succulents, start to grow and forge their own identities.

Signs of life on the Japanese maple

Rosemary plants have become bushes

Carrots (from seeds) flourish in a planter box

Mini cherry tomatoes sprout abundantly
 on plants from last spring

A brilliantly-colored geranium

Grapes-to-be!

This mint plant...

...led to this mint plant...

...and this one

A trio of succulents

The Secret Garden   (and other books)

“And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.”


"I am writing in the garden. To write as one should of a garden one must write not outside it or merely somewhere near it, but in the garden."


“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”

Quote it Saturday: Anne Morrow Lindberg

“I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.”

“Men kick friendship around like a football but it doesn't seem to break. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces."

“By and large, mothers and housewives are the only workers who do not have regular time off. They are the great vacationless class.”
