Febuary- Time to paint the garden!

Oh! How I love to paint the garden in Feb.
(Such a dreary dull time.  Why is Valentine's day in Feb?  Maybe to give people a little lift )
Thinking of spring is warmth.

Petunias with creeping jenny, vivacious purples and chartreuse colors against greens, alive and vibrant.

Impatiens did well in the fall in this pot with feathery textured leaves

Sometimes I try a planting, if it does well I plant more, if it doesn't...it gets transplanted, life lessons learned from Tasha Tudor

The life lesson of my garden--
Try something, then try something else.
Where do you thrive?
Why do people try to take the worst soil, then plant themselves there and force themselves to grow even when it isn't right?  Why are we angry and upset when we don't grow nor blossom?

To grow, we need good soil, the right light, growing conditions, the right amount of water and nutrients.

My soul needs time alone to recover.
I have to close the door to shut out the storms.

I am blessed.  God has blessed me, indeed. 
Just look at this plant!  Vibrant and full of life.
I will put my trust in Him, always.

Thank you for good things, thank you for Spring!
