Sweet Mrs. Fudge…

…and I have become good friends. We chat, we share anecdotes, news/tips and we look at each others flowers and plants on a daily basis.
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.

Gardenz

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

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.

House2

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

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
