Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts.

Earth laughs in flowers.

I love Spring anywhere, but if I could choose, I would always greet it in a garden. Ruth Stout

One of the worst mistakes you can make as a gardener is to think you're in charge.

Die when I may, I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow. Abraham Lincoln

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.

The butterfly is a flying flower, The flower is a tethered butterfly.

Blossom by blossom the spring begins.......

The tiniest garden is often the loveliest.

Gardeners, I think, dream bigger dreams than emperors.

I have never had so many good ideas, day after day, as when I worked in the garden.

What a pity flowers can utter no sound. A singing rose, a whispering violet, a murmuring honeysuckle--oh, what a rare and exquisite miracle would these be.

Anyone who has a bulb has spring.

The flower that follows the sun does so even in cloudy days.

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have alw...
