Here are the tulips, budded and full-blown,
their swoops and dips, their gloss and poses, the satin of their darks

Margaret Atwood, Dearly

A tulip doesn’t strive to impress anyone. It doesn’t struggle to be different than a rose. It doesn’t have to. It is different. And there’s room in the garden for every flower.

Wilderness Wednesday: Love Grows

We bought our humble abode twenty years ago this September, and that Fall Big Guy and I planted red tulip bulbs. The squirrels have tried really hard to decimate them, and they nearly did.

These hardy beauties fought back and are flourishing again.

They are a profound reminder that despite all the different seasons, the good and the bad, a little love can make things grow strong and beautiful.

Love is a flower that should never cease to grow. Nurture it and it will outlive you. Neglect it and it will wilt away and die.

Happy Wednesday!

Happy Mother’s Day to ALL the special women in my life – older, younger, by blood, by faith, by friendship!

The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.

Isaiah 58:11 (NLT)

Happy Monday!
