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..
ReplyDeleteYou do come up with some good stuff! LOVE IT! The one wheelbarrow LOADED with so many flowers, wow! Loved the short poem of the mind a garden and thoughts seeds! SO TRUE! Thanks for a refreshing morning. Amazing graphics!!!
ReplyDeleteSending the best down to Hotlanta, and I hope she is cooling some!!
I love flowers and gardens. That stairway is pretty incredible!
ReplyDelete👍😊❤️
ReplyDeleteSo 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!
ReplyDeleteThese gardens are so pretty. I love how you notice all the little details. Do you have a favorite plant from the ones you shared?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous captures of this amazing place.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI love to look at the flowers in our garden it is very relaxing to go round the garden!
ReplyDeleteI do love gardens and the Secret Garden picture is perfect.
ReplyDeleteWish I had more energy to make our yard bloom but it is what it is and I do enjoy it anyway.

Seeing a beautiful garden is always a reason to rejoice and thank God for all his blessings, Sandie. Beautiful photos and thoughts here today, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOh, your post spoke to me today, as I love nature. I actually have to visit it often, as it grounds me and brings me peace. The Agave Americana is something else! Have never seen anything like it. I love the nature quote, and have used it before. I used to watch 'Dancing with the Stars," but not so much anymore. I think they are such talented and amazing dancers. It won't be long until the little one comes into the world.....and your heart will be glad.
ReplyDeleteHappy September Sandie! It's such a pleasant month. : )

You always find the best photographs, Sandie! I'm not much into gardens, but that last one (wagon) warms my heart. Only 3 weeks ...........wheeeeee!
ReplyDeleteYou found some wonderful photos! I especially love the one with the steps, so creatively beautiful. I used to love Dancing. But nowadays they never have anyone on that I know! This year I know Steve Irwin's son, don't know who the rest are yet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post - both words and pictures!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love them all but I'm totally fascinated by the potted flowers on the steps
ReplyDeleteI am not a gardener but do love to see a beautiful one. That display in Belgium is pretty amazing! I enjoyed your post, Sandie!!
ReplyDeleteThose potted plants in Belgium are amazing. I so love gardens and always wanted a secret one for myself but never did it. Janice

Thank you so much for these two quotes, Sandie. I found them very helpful today.
God bless you.

I do love flowers and work to grow them every year but they always get the best of me.
ReplyDeleteI will not be watching dancing with the starts I watched it for years. It is not that I don't like it I have just moved on.

Ah Sandie what a lovely post...great quote regarding our thoughts and growing flowers or weeds...how true. I am sure you are getting more excited as your first great grandchild gets ready to arrive. That is amazing about the Agave plant that takes 7 years to grow and blooms only 7 short days. Thank you for all the pictures of those lovely flowers. Have a blessed day sweet friend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post you shared. Those are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, uplifting posting. All of the quotes are wonderful. I love nature, too. I especially like flowers.
ReplyDeleteAmen, sistet I love all of these. The photo of the staircase in Belgium, all of that done with potted flowers, that is amazing.
ReplyDeleteYour words reminded me that God’s creation is indeed a living testament to His care and creativity, and that even small moments like noticing a garden or a rare bloomcan nurture our spirit in unexpected ways. Your reminder to look closely and be grateful is both gentle and practical, something we all need in our busy lives. I would be glad if you took a moment to read my latest posts as well.
