A cool, rainy April evening,pools of water on the lawn; a toad in the side garden, tadpoles in a vernal pool. Lilacs blooming; bushes with new growth and rain dripping of the trees. The flag flaps in the breeze; a chicadee nesting in the birdhouse on the from porch. Sittiing on a old fashioned rocker on the front porch on this cool wet April evening. A warm glow from inside...a gold framed mirror reflects the gentle light. The table set with a cloth of orange and gold with the silver serving spoons laid out. Vases of flowers on the sideboard...the hope of a beehive behind the vegetable garden. Wet leaves turning to rich compost-soil that was hardpan in August, now like chocolate pudding. A cozy room upsairs with warm, glowing lamps and comfortable chairs heaped with pillows and old linens. A bedroom painted my favorite blue with shutters that remind me of France.. A rope swing and Adirondack chairs under an old man maple tree.

*Sigh* What a wonderful post... I can almost see it in my head :) I have really grown to love these blogs -- it seems like there is no lack of people sharing positive experiences and thoughts... and that's just good for the soul :) |

This post gave me the serenity I much needed after spending the week-end with two of my teenage grandchildren. Almost like a dream..Umm so nice. |

Great words on a palette to paint a fabulous mental picture for us all. Not only can we see it, but we can feel the comfort of being in it. It must be gratifying to be surrounded with that beauty. You have a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell |
