A Day Outing {Continuation}~The Cambrian, Spring Garden

 Good afternoon, dearest readers! I see you have joined me in my garden once again. Perhaps, I should show you the bed which are blooming with color in the spring sunshine....

The best place to seek God is in a garden.  You can dig for him there. 

~George Bernard Shaw

I run with playful winds that blow the scent 

Of rose and jessamine in eddying whirls.

At last I come where tall lilies grow, 

Lifting their faces like white saints to God. 

While the lilies pray, I kneel upon the ground;

I have strayed into the holy temple of the Lord.

 ~From In the Garden of the Lord by Helen Keller

A violet by a mossy stone,

Half hidden from the eye,

Fair as a star, when only one 

Is shining in the sky. 

~From The Violet by William Wordworth

Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet,

With charm of earliest birds; pleasant sun

When first on this delightful land he spreads

His orient beams, on herb, tree, fruit, and flower,

Glist'ring with dew; fragrant the fertile earth

After soft showers; and sweet coming on...

~From Sweet is the Breath of Morn by John Milton

Give me odorous at sunrise a garden of beautiful flowers where I can walk undisturbed.  ~Walt Whitman

God loved the flowers and invented soil.  Man loved the flowers and invented vases. 

~Jacques Deval

Wild poppies crowd on sunny banks;

A bee booms out the scented grass;

A jay laughs with me as I pass...

~From The Joy of the Hills by Edwin Markham

What is red? a poppy's red

In its barley bed...

~From What is Pink? by Christina Rossetti

Hope you enjoyed your stroll through my garden!

Many Blessings to you all,
Grace
