The morning of life is like the dawn of a day, full of purity, visions, and harmony. - Chateubriand - |
The last few mornings, at my house, have been sunny & bright and the birds chirping & flitting about in my little garden always seem to lure me out - usually clad in only my pj's, slippers and coffee in hand.
And as I sit - I am in awe of the glory of God's creation.
Whoever loves and understands a garden will find contentment within. - Chinese Proverb - |
As I breath deep the start of each new day, alone, outside, I watch life begin to unfold - flowers stretch & reach for the sun, birds chatter and I sit smiling, overwhelmed, with the knowledge that I am one of luckiest people on earth.
To be able to just sit and watch.
I am grateful to Mike every single day for this gift.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. - Ralph Waldo Emerson - |
I hung them off some of the branches to weight them down to encourage them to lie down & help the tree become less upright.

There is something of the marvelous in all things of nature. - Aristotle - |
The Blue Jay's stopped by for an early morning visit while I was outside & I was happy to see them again.
I rushed to put out a breakfast treat out for them, thinking how marvelous they look - so colorful and comical.
Nature is the art of God. - Ralph Waldo Emerson - |
Have you ever noticed that you can often hear them coming before you see them?
Stop every now and then. Just stop and enjoy. Take a deep breath. Relax and take in the abundance of life. - Anon - |
I put up a new beautiful blue feeder for them a couple of days ago but so far they still prefer that old, plain red one.
I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
Look! Look! Look deep into nature and you will understand everything. - Albert Einstein - |
I have yet to hear any peeps or tweets from inside the house so I don't know if they have nested in it or yet.
Of all the wonderful things in the wonderful universe of God, nothing seems to me more surprising than the planting of a seed in the blank earth and the result thereof. - C. Thaxter - |
My garden is very small & it really doesn't take me more than a few steps in any one direction to move about it but even still - I can spend hours on my knees - just looking, admiring & watching it grow.
There is something so humbling about standing back & admiring my garden only to realize that I had played such a small role in its growth, survival or beauty.
