My Mother's Favorite Flower

My mother loves flowers. She doesn't have a favorite. She taught me to see the beauty in all of the garden; weeds and all. This morning's blog is quick and to the point - an analogy of sorts using our garden.

Pay attention to what is around you. The nights are getting colder and the will and spirit are a bit more fragile as fall seeps into our bones. When you see your garden slowing down, look around at those who might need your assistance. Use your plants as a sign that family, friends and our furry creatures may be more susceptible to the colder weather. The inspirational gardening thought of the day is by Oscar Wilde. "Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.”
