From the Garden

To waken each morning with a smile brightening my face; 

to greet the day with reverence for the opportunities it contains;

to approach my work with a clear mind;

 to hold ever before me--even in the doing of little things

--the ultimate purpose toward which I am working;

 to meet men and women with laughter on my lips

 and love in my heart;

A Monarch egg?

 to be gentle and kind and courteous through all hours;

 to approach the night with a weariness that woos sleep 

 and the joy that comes from work well done--

that is how I desire to waste wisely my days.  - author unknown

I love finding a poem or quote that matches how I feel. 

My dear friend Sue from California reminded me how fortunate we are to have had so much rain

that I am able to have such a pretty garden. 

I am grateful. 

Jean, Kelly's little plant really likes it here!

Have a wonderful weekend my friends.  Enjoy this beautiful day.
