Today’s Gifts
By Lynn, on May 14th, 2008
“When doubts and fears are growing,
It’s hard to keep on going
From day to day not knowing
Just what the end will be.
Take each day as you find it,
If things go wrong, don’t mind it,
For each day leaves behind it
A chance to start anew.”
~Gertrude Ellgas
Some of today’s joys…
A garden to tend.
The little things, at ground level.
The first blooms on the scarlet sage.
Fresh flowers for my office.
Healthy rue (yellow blooms) which will bring scores of butterflies, bees, and wasps to my garden.
A cute little vegetable garden.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
What You Do Sow a thought, reap an action.
Sow an action, reap a habit.
Sow a habit, reap a character.
Sow a character, reap a destiny.

Hello,
Your garden space is very lovely. It looks well tended and loved.
Have a great day!

What lovely photos of you in the garden!
Thank you, Salina. I do enjoy working in my garden. I tend to let it get a bit out of control because I love weeds, too, but I do try and keep it looking like a true flower garden.
Thanks, Hannah.

I love your garden – I go for the ‘blowsy’ look of a slightly overgrown garden like we had in England!! Pics of you are great too – and I bet you are going to have a great season in your sweet veggie plot.
Mary, I would love to see the gardens you have seen in England. I know they’re beautiful. I hope to have a few vegetables this summer.
