Life Is a Garden Party Vol V

<p>There is a time for everything</p><p>and a season for every activity under heaven:</p><p>a time to be born and a time to die</p><p>a time to plant and a time to uproot.</p><p>Ecclesiastes 3:1-2</p><p>Winter a time of rejuvenation for flower bulbs perennials and trees although winter seems like a respite for plant life as well as for gardeners winter's hibernation is actually life giving. Spring: a time of rebirth.Flower bulbs awaken and bloom flowering trees follow where birds start raising their family which will awaken gardeners early to watch the miracle of germination form - which fills this gardener's heart with glee for within each seed there is a miracle waiting to spring forth.  </p><p>Much regeneration takes place during the summer with many activities for gardeners: searching early morning for new golden blooms where honey bees nectar. Filling the compost with nutrients (there's no waste in God's economy) from endless weeding. Harvesting daily albeit the longed-for tomatoes take much longer to mature. Summer harvesting is what gardeners long for during the long winter months. A daily stroll to see a rainbow of new flower blooms. When asked what my favorite flower is my response: whatever is blooming! My little plot is named Rainbow's End. The proverbial pot of gold is found in squash blossoms! </p><p>Then comes the resurgence of autumn all too soon. Autumn means harvesting summer's bounty when soups or chowders please one's taste. The hills are alive with a blaze of my favorite colors changing daily beautifying the hillside temporarily. Rather plant life or human life seasons come and go too quickly; each filled with lessons wonder miracles and blessings for each new day.
