To put our toes in the ocean. To twist our bare feet down into warm sand and let it get, all grainy, between our toes. To go to sleep at night listening to the very soul of the natural world, the rhythm of the waves beneath the moon.
This is a picture of a vaction long past. That’s one of my sweet boys on the right and his sweet little cousin on the left. They are but 10 days apart in age.
I’ll be away for about three days. My sweet husband is staying behind to work. He’s so kind to wish us a good time. He loves the beach. (I promise he’s got a nice vacation to look forward to soon.)
From the garden today…
The new growth on the sweet potato vine caught my eye as Peter Pan.
Bright, or what?!
“To create a little flower is the labour of ages.”
William Blake, English Writer and Artist, 1757-1827
“Flowers are lovely;
love is flower-like.”
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, English Poet, 1772-1834
“Chide me not, laborious band!
For the idle flowers I brought;
Every aster in my hand
Goes home loaded with a thought.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Writer, 1803-1882
I love the bright petals on this geranium.
I believe this is some kind of hen-and-chicks (Echeveria). I was a bit surprised to see that it is going to bloom.
I shall see you when I return. I hope for safe travels. I’ll take plenty of pictures.
