A
little dirt never hurt
All
the flowers of all the tomorrow's are in the seeds of today and
yesterday.
All
things grow better with love.
Bloom
where you are planted.

know the best dirt.
Gardening
would be genteel were it not for all that icky dirt.
Growing
like a weed ...oh my gosh, it is a weed.

Keep
a green tree in your heart and perhaps the singing bird will
come. - Chinese saying
Kind
hearts are the GARDEN, Kind thoughts are the ROOT, Kind words
are the BLOSSOMS, Kind deeds are the FRUIT.

Mary,
Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow,
with silver
bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row.
May
all your weeds be wild flowers.

Puddles & Dandelions
When
I look at a patch of dandelions,
I see a bunch of weeds that
are going to take over my yard.
My kids see flowers for Mom
and blowing white fluffs you can wish on.
When I see a
old dumping ground, I wish someone would clean it up.
I look
at the hollowed out cars, refrigerators, and boxes
and then
I look away.
My kids see castles, great ships and fun and
they want to stay.
When I hear music I love, I know I
can't carry a tune and don't have much rhythm
so I sit
self-consciously and listen.
My kids feel the beat and move
to it. They sing out the words.
If they don't know them,
they make up their own.
When I feel wind on my face, I
brace myself against it.
I feel it messing up my hair and
pulling me back when I walk.
My kids close their eyes,
spread their arms and fly with it,
until they fall to the
ground laughing.
When I pray, I say thee and thou and
grant me this, give me that.
My kids say, "Hi God!
Thanks for my toys and my friends.
Please keep the bad
dreams away tonight.
Sorry, I don't want to go to Heaven
yet. I would miss my Mommy and Daddy."
When I see a
mud puddle I step around it.
I see muddy shoes and dirty
carpets.
My kids sit in it.
They see dams to build,
rivers to cross and worms to play with.
I wonder if we
are given kids to teach or to learn from?
No wonder God
loves the little children!!
Enjoy the little things in life,
for one day you may look back and realize they were the big
things."
My wish to you - Mud Puddles and
Dandelions
and may God bless this day and all days for you.
"Love doesn't make the world go 'round.
Love is
what makes the ride worthwhile."
Nothing is so
beautiful as the new growth of Spring.
Nothing bugs
me when I'm in my Garden
One
of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all
of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some
magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the
roses that are blooming outside our windows today. --
Dale Carnegie ( 1888-1955 Writer and pioneer of famous courses
in self-improvement, salesmanship, corporate training, public
speaking and interpersonal skills.)
Only
GOD can make flowers and trees, but HE put me in charge of seeds
and weeds.
