Cosmos

One of my very favorite garden plantings are Cosmos. They, for me, give the carefree look of an informal garden.

“One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego. The self is more distant than any star.” G.K. Chesterton

Withered Rose………

you are still beautiful in your own way now. 

Dangling Slippers

Gardening: Why do you love it so…..?

“Flowers are nice to look at. They have neither emotions or conflicts.” Sigmund Freud

“A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.” Gertrude Jekyll

And, it provides stretching, bending, lifting, reaching, nurturing & if you let it, peace of mind.
