In the Garden #2

There is an appointed time for everything.
And there is a time for every event under heaven -
A time to give birth, and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
– Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

Newly planted Cosmos in my garden today…

…and bright red Zinnia:

Garden Delight

The kiss of the sun for pardon,
The song of the birds for mirth,
One is nearer God’s Heart in a garden
Than anywhere else on earth. {from ‘God’s Garden’} – Dorothy Frances Gurney

Into the Bouquet #11

When I look at the galaxies on a clear night – when I look at the
incredible brilliance of creation, and think that this is what
God is like, then instead of feeling intimidated and diminished
by it, I am enlarged . . . I rejoice that I am a part of it.
– Madeleine L. Engle
