Mosaic Monday
The Daisy follows soft the Sun
The Daisy follows soft the Sun,
And when his golden walk is done,
Sits shyly at his feet,
He waking finds the flower there,
Wherefore Marauder art thou here?
Because, Sir, love is sweet!
We are the Flower Thou the Sun!
Forgive us, if as days decline,
We nearer steal to Thee!
Enamored of the parting West,
The peace, the flight, the Amethyst,
Night's possibility!
-Emily Dickinson
Have a great day and remember: Go Ahead & Indulge!

"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into."
-Henry Beecher
Hello! Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week - I vaguely recall mine! I find as the end of the school year draws near I have more things to do and then the year is over and BOOM, I wish the kids were in school again! What a vicious cycle!! Looking for pieces to feature today gave me a chance to sit back and relax for a bit - it was nice. Enjoy!

"My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant's point of view."
-H. Fred Dale
Hello! Being in the Bahamas & Florida last week left me longing to work outside in my gardens.... However, as I look out my window, the 3 feet of snow is preventing me from doing that! Since I cannot garden I decided to do the next best thing - look at some of my favorite English country gardens online and share them with you, Enjoy!
"Gardening requires lots of water - most of it in the form of perspiration."
-Lou Erickson
Thought of the Day:
"Why try to explain miracles to your kids when you can just have them plant a garden."

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well! I have returned from vacation and I am ready to get back in to the swing of everyday life! It is nice to be home, but I miss the bright Florida sunshine!!
In honor of sun and warmth, today I would like to feature my favorite flower: The Periwinkle Hydrangea. These beautiful flowers are so cheery, you cannot help but smile when you see them!
"My green thumb came only as a result of the mistakes I made while learning to see things from the plant's point of view."
-H. Fred Dale
Hydrangeas are a genus of about 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia and North and South America. The greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia. Most are shrubs 1–3 m tall. Hydrangeas can be deciduous or evergreen, although the most widely cultivated species are deciduous.
Hydrangea flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn and grow in flower-heads at the end of their stems. In many species, the flower-heads contain two types of flowers, small fertile flowers in the middle of the flower-head, and large, sterile flowers in a ring around the edge of each flower-head.
Hydrangeas come in 2 flower arrangements: Mop-head and lace-cap. Mop-head flowers are large round flower-heads that resemble pom-poms, or as the name implies, look like the head of a mop. Lace-cap flowers bear round, flat flower-heads with a center core of subdued flowers surrounded by outer rings of showy flowers.
"It is a golden maxim to cultivate the garden for the nose, and the eyes will take care of themselves."
-Robert Louis Stevenson
