"Life is lived forward, but understood backward. It is not until we are down the road and we stand on the mountain looking back through the valley that we can appreciate the terrain God has allowed us to scale.” Jill Savage

SEPTEMBER 2 GARDENS OF LIFE

 


3 weeks


“We may think we are nurturing our garden, but of course it’s our garden that is really nurturing us.”
– Jenny Uglow

Look deep into Nature, and you will understand everything better. Albert Einstein.  



Cottage Garden



Your mind is a garden - your thoughts are the seeds - you can GROW FLOWERS - or you can GROW WEEDS!




DANCING IN THE RAIN.
Who is going to watch DANCE WITH THE STARS - September 16!
I AM!!!!!!!!!!!




I'm not a gardener (or a dancer).  But I appreciate the beauty of a garden and the nature that is out there.  I see God in it.  No one can make the things that are out in nature, but God.  And it is not just in nature.  
There is so much beauty all around us - all we have to do is look and appreciate it.
 Think about God and it's so easy to be grateful!

I do love gardens and I work really hard in our back yard to have plenty of blooms for the summer. Moving them to the greenhouse is a different story. This is a big job! The stairway of potted plants is so neat and then the huge cactus.. So much beauty all around the world that the gardens bring us. I'm not a dancer either. I don't think we have watched dancing with the stars. I might need to give it a try. Hope you enjoy this first week of September...the temps were really nice outside around here this morning..

So true, what we plant is what we sow. Even if some flowers are weeds, they are still beautiful. Nature never fails to amaze me. Great post today! Love your pictures too!

These gardens are so pretty. I love how you notice all the little details. Do you have a favorite plant from the ones you shared?

I like that garden sign! Flowers and gardens are so pretty. The stairs with the potted flowers is so creative. I used to dance but not anymore. I’ve never watched dancing with the stars.
