Winter Gardening...

Just a few favorites from our outing to Watson's Greenhouse & Nursery yesterday:


Clay:

“Afflictions sent by providence

melt the constancy 

of the noble minded, 

but confirm 

the obduracy of the vile, 

as the same furnace 

that liquefies the gold, 

hardens the clay” 

~Charles Caleb Colton

"But now, O LORD, You are our Father, We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand."~Isaiah 64:8

Frogs:

"I've got a dream, too, but it's about singing and dancing and making people happy.  That's the kind of dream that gets better the more people you share it with."  

~Kermit

An 'army' of frogs

We think too small,
like the frog at the
bottom of the well.
He thinks the sky is only
as big as the top of the well.
If he surfaced,
he would have
an entirely different view.
~Mao Tse-Tung

Oh, yeah, flowers, too!

Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
