The end of April… how magical it was!
And how had everything in the garden fully-fledged
and beautified my little world all of a sudden!
Every new morning is a new beginning, an unwrapping of a gift, a new
chance, another beautifully freely gifted day… to start anew, to amend
errors and opt for love. And perhaps to
find a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning?
And thus, these last few days of April have
brought much magic to my little world, the magic I was waiting for—the first quail in the garden,
its song a mysterious emphasis on life, and an innate response to its
Creator. I know, oh I know there will
more of them coming, and then I will be here, waiting for them beside all of my other little garden friends!
I have worked so much and so hard for months. Worked in the middle of winter under awful winds and chilly temps, but
everything is unfolding as I’ve expected it would, and the garden is marvelously
responding in a thousand ways, and it is speaking to me secretly, and it's been gifting
gifting! How marvelous, how very
marvelous to see it coming back to an orderly beauty! No more weeds or unwanted grasses, no despairing
shoots and unruly canes. Roses are
growing stronger and bushier by the day, and every little transplant I’d made is
making it. I know that angels walk along me as I work and pull weeds, and by my
side… oh by my side a Shadow—nay, more. Even under His
wings.
Ah my friends, I do believe in magic, but a dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work... I’m getting there!
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to
achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work,
determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who
believe. Then, you can sit and relax!
Hasta luego!
I respect your hard work and determination!!
ReplyDeleteAt one time, I was like that.
Age has a way of taking our strength and stamina away.
Oh Judy, you're so right.... I'm starting to feel some of that, and is very scary...

Your hard work shows, it is all so beautiful. If you don't mind I would love to know what that bush with the purple flowers is left of the arbor. I love the arbor too. Again, good job!! Jerris
ReplyDeleteThat's a Korean lilac bush. Small and with a lovely scent. I love it!
