A Walk in His Garden: Flowers, Foliage & Food-to-be

Sometimes if I am stressed out

a walk through our gardens puts me into a better frame of mind.

As I breathe in the fresh air,

surrounded by the sounds of softly falling rain

or the songs of birds,

and as I see, smell and touch the things that God created,

I am reminded, again, of the amazing gifts God has given to all mankind.

And I feel blessed.

Wishing you blessings this Tuesday!

Evergreen huckleberry

(a PNW native highly prized for its berries;

this is one of 5 huckleberry plants we have in our garden)

a groundcover we planted last year by the upper pond

(in addition to white and red, I love pink--can you tell?

My oldest son is VERY excited about all the berries we will have this year.

He even took pictures when he visited us this last weekend)

A brunnera

(planted last year; I love the leaves &

forget-me-not type flowers of this shade loving plant)

Lilac flowers

(fragrance, beautiful flowers--

I love our white and our light purple lilacs)
