Quote

My prayer for the new year is that I may have the courage and the stamina to let Life happen to me, to accept its joys and successes, and to take in stride the learning that stretches us and the growing pains. Perhaps, to put it simply, my wish for the New Year is: may we love more, live more, laugh more. And so may you!

A flower is a daisy chain, a graduation, a valentine a flower is New Year's Eve and an orchid in your hair a flower is a single geranium blooming in a tin can on a murky city fire-escape an acre of roses at the Botanical Gardens and the first gold crocus of spring! ... a flower is a birth, a wedding, a leaving of this life.

I love planting bulbs. It is making promises with tomorrow, believing in next year and the future.

October arrives in a swirl of fragrant blue leaf smoke, the sweetness of slightly frosted MacIntosh apples, and little hard acorns falling. We are in the midst of cool crisp days, purple mists, and Nature recklessly tossing her whole palette of dazzling tones through fields and woodlands.

In July everybody you telephone is somewhere else - either on the beach or on vacation, and half the time you're somewhere else too.
