Lovely photos and quotes. Love the first one especially, and also used it recently on a project. Have a great day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOops did I miss that?
DeleteBeautiful words and pictures thank you for sharing them. x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Barbara:)
DeleteI do like William Kent's motto.
ReplyDeleteI do too, Andrew:) And I think of my life in terms of what I have yet to do in my garden.
DeleteThese photos are amazing. I see your hostas are in bloom, too. I was just admiring mine yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI love that Doug Larson quote. He hit the nail right on the head. Have a super Tuesday, dear.
Ha! Isn't that the truth about weeds?
DeleteWe've had soooo much rain this year, the hostas have really thrived.
That Cicero quote lives on not one but two fridge magnets here.
ReplyDeleteI do love the garden. Blood, sweat, tears and money go into it. Beauty, solace and healing emerge...
It's a great quote and so true.
DeleteWouldn't it be great if we had a magic carpet and could take a garden tour of fellow bloggers' gardens?
Weeds don't survive in my lawn.
ReplyDeleteThe sunflowers remind me of my amazing blogger buddy, Tina. I can't believe she's been gone almost three years.
You are the weed ninja!
DeleteI don't think I knew Tina. I'm sorry for your loss, Alex.
Excellent post of photo's and quotes a joy to read and look at.

DeleteI'm loving Paintshop--which you brought to my attention through your blog and gave me many handy tips. You are the guru. I am the grasshopper:)
These are pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jamie. Glad you like them.
DeleteWeeds sure like to win. Hmmm that first one may be out of touch with reality a bit, food and water are needed too lol
ReplyDeleteWell if we are going for practicality might as well throw in coin:)
DeleteSure looks good in your garden.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna. I'd love to stroll through yours.
DeleteI've got two flower gardens bigger than I can manage; but, they do quite well. But the wildflowers along the roadside and in the fallow field can't be matched.
ReplyDeleteI bet your gardens are beautiful.
DeleteI know what you mean.They've planted wildflowers along some of the roadsides in NC and I really enjoy them.
Sandra, thank you for this beautiful and uplifting post 💕
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jan. So glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteI love your dragonflies blog. Dragonflies are wondrous aren't they?
DeleteThose are some beautiful photos, Sandra, I love flowers, for me, they show the softer side of life, which I believe softness triumphs over hardness much of the time.
ReplyDeleteThey do show the softer side and often triumph, Lon.

What wonderfully positive words and lovely pics to make my Tuesday Sandra! I totally love my books and looking at flowers, but when it comes to actually planting them, I totally suck. (lol) Hope your day is going well! Hugs...
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked it, Ro.
DeleteI hear you on planting. It's survival of the fittest at my garden:)
I'm not sure which I love most -- the fabulous photos of your very beautiful garden or the quotes, chosen to perfection!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed it, Jeanie;)
DeleteHave a great one.
Beautifully put together! Flowers do make life so much more pleasurable.
