If the day and night are such
that you greet them with joy
and life emits a fragrance like flowers
and sweet scented herbs,
that is your success.
all nature is your congratulations.
-Henry David Thoreau-
Come spend some time with me in my garden...
I gaze upon the garden.
My heart grown peaceful.
From its spirit comes my will.
From its color comes my being.
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly...to listen to stars and buds, to babes, and sages, with open heart; await occasions, hurry never...this is my symphony.
~William Henry Channing
Wow, Carla. You did good! I remember one year The Herbal Husband planted a whole packet of tomato seeds! We had 45 tomato plants that year. I think I'm still making sauce that I can no longer eat because of my GERD! Can you believe it? That is the biggest loss for me even bigger than chocolate. I'll be talking about it. Now pay attention to what you're doing. xxoo Nancy
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, oh my that would just kill me to not be able to eat tomato sauce. I sure hope this will heal itself for you. Sending hugs your way and healing thoughts!
