~Hope these vibrant Autumn colors make
up for the time I've been away...sorry so
long since my last post!

~Tears, idle tears,
I know not what they mean
Tears from the depth of some divine despair
rise in the heart, and gather in the eyes
In looking on the happy Autumn fields
and thinking of the days that are no more.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Places to play in, where nature may heal
And give strength to body and soul."

~Food For The Soul...

~A garden is food for the soul
A simple pleasure to behold...

~A place to dream of things to come
to listen to nature & life's hum...

~It's beauty last throughout our days
And gives us peace in many ways
Ever changing with every light
It shows its strength with such delight

~ A garden is food for the soul
A simple pleasure to behold.
~Author Unknown
