What a sweet piece, Joyce. We certainly get plenty of showers here in Plymouth, England, LOL - and I love being out in the rain. Many congrats on your wins too, my friend

What a beautiful little prayer of thanks. There is an old saying about being close to God in a garden, and I know I feel at my most peaceful when surrounded by growing things. Thank you for sharing Joyce... cheers Margaret

A sigh maker, Joyce. I miss LOOKING at my wee garden. Working on it, not so much. I do so admire gardeners-- they cultivate God's artwork. Cheers to you, Cyndi
