This morning looked so fresh and clean. [...]

Metamorphosis

Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature. – Gerard de Nerval Don’t look now, but there was a time when I used to document every bloom and every seed that grows in my garden.  I even dreamed of writing about it, describing every bloom, how long it took for one particular plant to grow [...]

Our Garden Guest ( Rehashed)

The other night, my daughter came home and asked me if she could take a look at the bird’s nest in our Gardenia plant. So off we went to the corner not knowing that our garden guest was quietly resting with its three beautiful eggs. It  immediately flew and bumped itself at one of the [...]

Did you know that finding that bird’s nest right inside our garden made me look at  all the corners for more?  Yesterday, I was quietly reading, trying to finish the book On Writing by Stephen King when a tiny bird flew in and landed directly  at the Gardenia bush at the corner of our garden.
