Ask Yourself . . . .


Ask yourself what is really important
and then have the wisdom and courage
to build your life around the answer.

I am lost in flower joy
out I go with the scissors
snip, snip, snip
and I have flowers
for my vases
the bright reds are a combo of
crocosmia and montbretia
(first found in Ireland)
some bee balm in there too
what a wonderful world



 We lose ourselves in the things we love
We find ourselves there, too.

"I want to take this day,
fold it up, and put it in my pocket
so I can have it again and again. 
What is really necessary in life? 
A blue bay to gaze on . . . sun."

Under the Wide and Starry Sky
Nancy Horan 
a great book about
Robert Louis Stevenson

"The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower,
share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's,
smile at someone and receive a smile in return,
are to me continual spiritual exercises."
  Leo Buscaglia

Love all your pretty arrangements. We have had such hot weather for the 2 months, the flowers are suffering we are on a hose pipe ban, so watering is from the well, and I'm afraid I can't cope with that . Mr France is watering the baskets and troughs but the garden plants and shrubs are droopy and not flowering as much as usual.

I did ask myself. And then started building quite some time ago. My life is BIG. Of course it needs to be to have people like you in it!
