Love To Garden

I love to garden. I love to put my hands in the dirt, sow seeds or plant seedlings and watch them grow. There is something spiritual about that for me; also healing and soothing to see God's beautiful creation. My whole yard would be gardens if it was up to me. It would be trees and shrubs, sunny gardens and shade gardens. There would be paths and benches to rest on and enjoy the peace and beauty.

I love spring flowers. They bring life back into the drab and dull landscape of winter. They pop out out when you least expect them. The first flowers in my yard are yellow crocus. Just the sight of them pick me up. Then come some purple and white ones. There aren't too many, but just a dab of color here and there. As April rolls on by the Daffodils come out and add sunshine yellow to the scene. Meanwhile the crabapple trees bloom their bright pink flowers. My husband always says they're the prettiest trees on the street. The palette of spring flowers and trees bring life back to the landscape. And the fragrance...oh, so good.
