Happy Earth Day! Today I'm celebrating dirt, the source of so much beauty. As my DH, a fabulous gardener, likes to say, "It's all about making dirt."
Here are a few other nice sayings I found as I was perusing a copy of Mary Jane's Farm magazine at a bookstore.
"A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all, it teaches entire trust." Gertrude Jekyll
This saying reminds me so much of my grandmother!
"If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom." Audra Foveo
"I saw an act of faith today. A man was on his knees, not in a pew in a church, but in a garden planting seeds." Unknown author
The purple lilac photo is for Esme. Happy birthday!
