Flowers have a mysterious and subtle influence upon the feelings,
not unlike some strains of music. They relax the tenseness of
the mind. They dissolve its vigor.
- Henry Ward Beecher
How relaxing.............
is the color and fragrance of a flower garden,
a spring time walk in the woods among hundreds of wild flowers,
the beauty captured in a fragrant bloom of a rose.
or a field of bright yellow sunflowers sharing their smily faces?
Enjoying the beauty of nature touches the very soul with
refreshment and quietness.
It is our healthy tonic necessary to handle stress of a complicated, fast pace life style.
So when you reach a point of enough is enough...seek out the quiet in the beauty of a garden.
What a desolate place would be a world without flowers. It would be a face
without a smile; a feast without a welcome. Are not flowers the stars
of the earth? Are not our stars the flowers of heaven?
- Clara L. Balfour
I have two engraved stones in my garden one is inscribed
" Time Began in God's Garden" and the other is inscribed
" One is nearer God's Heart in a Garden
than anywhere else on earth"
"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous"
Aristotle.
