Early Easter Morning




The garden is still
even the creatures of the woods
are quiet
Still amazing to me
that I have only lived in
these woods for about 18 months
all the plants have
made themselves at home
guess just like me
It rained during the night
everything looks so fresh and clean
Silly thought for this
suppose to be old woman
I looked at my wonderful new garden
and had the thought
my mother and grandmother who were
gardeners - would be proud of me
could sense them smiling through
the trees....

Silence is another kind of space. When everything is quiet and suddenly there is noise, we ordinarily say the silence was shattered. But it is more accurate to say that we forgot the silence and listen only to sound ~Ken McLeoad~

I have flowers that I transplanted from my grandmother and mother's garden. When they bloom--it brings great joy.

What a peaceful area you have carved out-the silence is calming.
Thank you for sharing Ernestine.

Yes, there is still silence between sound. Your woods are blessed to have your tender heart admire them so.
