"Did I take time out to laugh, to love,
To see, to think, to pray?
These are the thoughts that cross my mind
At the closing of the day." Mamaw Tribby
quote from the book "A Garden's Grace" by Nancy Hutchins
Gardening brings me such joy. I know many of you feel the same peace when you see your gardens. Also some of us love to see gardens our neighbors provide.
The above is from my patio fence and has volunteer nasturtiums.
My dad enjoyed nurturing his garden and lawn at our Wisconsin home. He especially liked pruning our forsythia and lilac bushes. Once in a while he pruned a bit too much but we always had yellow forsythia and lilac blooms every spring. We had a white lilac, a dark purple lilac and a light lilac flower lilac all next to each other. The white lilac was about 10 feet tall, almost a tree, I planted a lilac recommended for where I live in California but it doesn't produce blooms. This year it had one group of blooms! I have had this lilac for about 15 years and I am not giving up on it.
