Steadfast & firm,

June 10, 2008 · 3 Comments

The view of one simple thin stem,
with a solid base rooted deep-down in the soil,
is of one strong and up-right foundation
suitable for more growth.

It will branch out and reach with slender arms,
to offer young, tender sprouts to the sky.

These also will develop to become stronger and
then transform into shelters and homes
to many of the small creatures of our world.

This small budding flower with it’s soft petals and waving statens,
is like a baby reaching it’s arms to be loved.
A wonderful topic: “BABY” for this week, from Illustration Friday!

Memorial Day…

May 26, 2008 · 2 Comments

…originally called Decoration Day,
is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service.
National Moment of Remembrance
Encouraging individual Americans everywhere, to pause for one minute
at 3:00 p.m. (local time) on Memorial Day, to remember and reflect on
the sacrifices made by so many to provide freedom for all.

The wearing of the “red poppy” to keep faith began when an American, Miss
Moira Michael, read the poem “In Flanders Field” and was so greatly
impressed that she decided always to wear a red poppy to keep the faith. She wrote a reply to this poem in November 1918 entitled : “We Shall Keep the Faith”

Today, enjoy a “Day of Peace” with family, friends and strangers!

GARDEN THOUGHTS
"The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer to God’s heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth"
Dorothy Frances Gurney • 1858 – 1952

Zelma suggested the posting of this classic and cherised poem which is on a marker in her garden and many gardens worlwide.

She is definitely the "GARDEN GURU" knows her plants by names, needs and behavior. Here’s one of her beautiful garden arrangements.

She helped me (physically) with the landscaping in my own front yard. I told her I
wanted it to have the feel as if it were the extension of her garden. She
loved the concept because when she sits on her front porch it seems like her garden
keeps on going across the street.

My front yard is now a haven for bees, butterflies, birds. It is a source for a true "FLYING COLOR" experience. Now I am dealing with the possibilities of my back yard…
Gardening requires lots of water – most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson
