Daily Graces Return #531

Quote by Alan Cohen.

As I was working on this I looked out the window and saw one of my neighbors bending down to get a feel of and also a fragrance of one of the many lavender plants along the edge of the lawn. That is one of the blessings of gardens and gardening- to partake of its beauty and share it with others.

The quote used today is from the book A Painter’s Garden (Cultivating the Creative Life) by Christine Walker. I used to have this book prior to the fire and was thrilled to find another copy of it on Amazon which arrived today. At the time the author wrote the book she was living in Sebastopol, CA, which was close to Santa Rosa where I used to live. The rose tree is in my backyard cottage garden and is called “Sexy Rexy.”
