Contest: Write seven beautiful lines with a twist, sponsored by Constance La France.

“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” – Audrey Hepburn It was late afternoon, and the sun was casting a shadow on the flower blooms The light breeze refreshes the garden as scents wafts of earthy perfumes The hibiscus stood tall with jewel toned disc flowers in pots near the iron gate Songbirds are happily building nests as they fly to nearby trees with their mate Chipmunks and squirrels run and steal seeds as they mutter and chatter through I set my book down for a moment while in my chair to enjoy the beautiful view My garden is my sanctuary, a peaceful place amongst all the scents and hues

Oh my gosh, I just read that this is really your garden and, oh, how beautifully you co-create with God. I love loving plants, but mostly houseplants receive my tlc, probably because I move so much, I don't know where you live, but surely spring hasn't brought forth such colors yet?? Had to read again. Love the poem ... CayCay

CayCay, this pic is from late summer. I live in the Northeast and right now it's spring but there's still some snow in spots on the ground. Thanks for your visit.
