Gardening...a mixed bag of flowers and frustration!
these flowers didn't even get to bloom
before an army of green caterpillars destroyed them over night!
so, no columbines this year.
Life...a mixed bag of celebration and sorrow!
The bleeding hearts that survived the May snows are beautiful!
The hostas are being mangled by something but not sure what!
Usually hosta look good at least for a little before the snails destroy them
but I don't think this is snails. Too many pieces lying around!
But, this is life...a series of problem-solving!
Life, its very word involves us; inhale, exhale, fragile
cord
Leasing to each one the onus of its blessing from the Lord
Life, a very small but serious undertaking of a toll
Where a shawl of fleeting fabric veils the All of deathless
soul
Soon the summary of choices will unfold the doer’s due
Soon life’s orchestra of voices will fade from earth’s
avenue
Life, how often we must struggle to weather its ‘my, oh
my’
Where this ephemeral bubble holds much more than meets
the eye
Life, how uncertain the nearness to the end of numbered
days
When we open up our eyes and only Jesus fills our gaze
