Nourishment for the Soul

        "Hope never dies in the heart of Gardener!"

           I'm not sure what nourish's the soul more, creating art or creating a garden.
                                                      I know I need both to live!:)

Last weekend, I spent an entire afternoon at leisure! I did spend the morning working in my own garden, but the afternoon was spent wandering through many private gardens on the local Garden Club tour.  All of the gardens were beautiful, and inspiring. However, I came back home to each of the trees, shrubs, vegetables, herbs and flowers that I have so lovingly planted, and I felt very satisfied! 

Spend a moment wandering through my little garden with me, share a few thoughts about the beauty and peacefulness of nature, and perhaps be inspired to grow something yourself.... a new plant, a new start, a new you....it's all possible:)
