Where peace begins....in my garden....

"When no one listens to the quiet trees

When no one notices the sun in the pool

Where no one feels the first drop of rain

Or sees the last star

Or hails the first morning

of a giant world

Where peace begins

One bird sits still

Watching the work of God..."

Miniature birdbath:  Katie Brown @ Meijer's

Flowers: Dichondra, Million bells, Lobularia, Trailing verbena

Climbing rose on arbor:  Zepherine Drouhin

 "One turning leaf,

Two falling blossoms,

Ten circles upon the pond..."

Sweet woodruff, Bleeding heart, hosta, peony

Dwarf Alberda spruce and Catmint lining the brick walk to the deck

"I am under the sky.

The birds are all silent.

But the frogs have begun singing their pleasures in all the waters

and in the warm, green places where the sunshine is wonderful."

Verbena, peonies, and catmint surround the pond

Apple Meadow

"My worship is a blue sky

and ten thousand crickets

in the deep wet hay in the field.

My vow is the silence 

under their song."
