The Gardens Know…

Published by gabrielle at 7:49 am under Contemplation, Mysticism, Poetry

Wondrous truths, and manifold as wondrous,
God hath written in those stars above;
But not less in the bright flowerets under us
Stands the revelation of his love.

[From Flowers, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow]

    You’re welcome, and amen! (and speaking of garden delights, my sweet neighbour just came over and gave me excess tomatoes from her bountiful garden! Yay!)

    These are beautiful –do you have them in your garden, G?

    Carol, no; we have two spiraea in the front, but they don’t look quite like this, so I have a feeling they’re not Bridal Wreath.
