IN THE GARDEN - ... the desires of your heart


Quelques mots en français pour les amis qui visitent de loin.
Les dernières semaines ont été difficiles pour moi. Suite d'une maladie, il voilà que je prenne des pillules qui m'interdisaient d'aller au soleil, et de passer beaucoup de temps dehors. Alors là, c'était comme demander à un papillon de ne visiter qu'une seule fleur!!! Démoralisant pour le moins dire...
La photo - Et oui... c'est une vue de mon petit coin prise depuis sous l'ombrelle où j'aime me reposer. Il y a du plaisir sans fin... au jardin.

Simple pleasures in the garden.

My two youngest children have a little joke going on: What to do with Mom if she wasn't able to get around any more - sit her comfortably in the garden with pots, plants, soil, seeds and things - check on her once in the while. Where is Mom? Oh, outside in the garden. They forgot to mention: books about birds and insects, binoculars and camera. But it's pretty close. Of course there's got to be a bunny running around and a dog and a kitty too. Simple pleasures.

This is the view from my favorite spot in the garden. The swing seems to be everybody else's favorite spot!!!
It's my place, and mine to share with all who would. Come and sit a while. Feel the peace. Sleep if you'd like. The birds will sing their lullaby.

If nature is your thing, forget time, God will meet with you there as He does with me. Thank you Lord for this little spot.

I love your garden...and all your pictures.

We have a bunny who comes to our gravel yard here at our RV site. He rises on his haunches, reaches into a tiny citrus tree, and nibbles leaves. Maybe there is more than one bunny...wish I could put an identifying mark on him--or her--so I could tell for sure.

Hello Sister Buxton,
I'll have to tell the story of this cottontail mother who came to have her four little bunnies on the cement patio! (Where I work in Sun City, we have cement and rocks for a backyard) Enjoy your little guy, sound like he has adopted you.
