"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

a garden in bloom~





june was full of rain
july served up some heat
august is coming in fair and mild


my garden has been growing slow
PATIENCE
has definitely been my virtue


Nasturtiums

victory in battle & conquest


these two
have won the battle of living
proving righteously
these little flowers are annuals only to bloom and last but a year
they can stand the test of time


6 tomato plants
PATIENTLY
waiting to come to be


The greatest gift of the garden is the restoration of the five senses.
Hanna Rion


we can see their beauty
we can smell their scent
yet we are longing to taste their gift

 
beauty that awaits
 
 
One of the most delightful things about a garden
 is the
 anticipation it provides.
W.E. Johns, The Passing Show
 
 
our
early girls
are rounding out quite nice
 
 
fried green tomatoes anyone
i'm thinking me
 
 
oh and the excited i had
 

when i stumbled upon these
 
 
Beans
 
 
little by little
right
 
 
they are stretching...reaching out
 
 
Green fingers are the extension of a verdant heart
Russell Page


cucumbers of late
slowly taking bloom
 

do you see
 
 
do you know what this means
 
 
do you know what these will become
 
 
curly little pieces...big green leaves
harboring life
 
 
nourishing these blooms
 
 
with this comes the beauty
of
magic
 
 
can you sense the joy we have

Beautiful garden. Those green tomatoes sure looked good to me. We used to pick them from the garden, dip in milk, then flour and fry. Oh, how good they were.

beautiful pictures of the wonderous of life. I was so happy to find five pumpkins on the vine that came to be from just leaving our pumpkins from last year out in the elements to be taken back into the earth and spring up this year. Oh how I love fresh tomatos off the vine. I have yet to receive any and didn't get any planted this year due to time. There never seems to be enough time.
