Garden Wisdom

Some thoughts about gardening and spring found on the internet:

Connection with gardens...can become windows to the inner life. The simple act of stopping and looking at the beauty around us can be prayer. Patricia R. Barrett

We learn from our gardens to deal with the most urgent question of the time: How much is enough? Wendell Berry

A garden has a curious innocent way of consuming cash, while all the time you are under the illusion that you are spending nothing. Esther Meynell

Location, location, location...is also true for plants. Michael P. Garofalo from his book Pulling Onions.

The day, water, sun, moon, night- I do not have to purchase these things with money. Plautus

Live simply, so others may simply live. Ghandi

A rhyme from Mother Goose

Surprise

Close your eyes, and do not peek,
And I'll rub spring across your cheek,
Soft as velvet, smooth and sleek,
Close you eyes, and do not peek.
