Surveying a Joyful Garden

“Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.” — Goethe

Sometimes we don’t notice the beauty we’re surrounded with until we look with fresh eyes.

I was focused on a major cleanup project in the garden when I finally took a breath and looked up. It was only then that I noticed being surrounded with the joy of color. Everywhere I turned, I was greeted with the wonder of nature.

“Let us come alive to the splendor that is all around us and see the beauty in ordinary things.” — Thomas Merton

Yellow Marguerite Daisy…

…and prolific white daisy groundcover…

There’s so much to be grateful for!

“Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.” — A.A. Milne

You’re totally right, Piglet!
