Life's Garden of Loved Ones

Two tropical storms have moved through the Washington, DC area recently and we are getting more than our usual dose of rain.  Not complaining because I like the rain.  It's good for our gardens and everything feels clean after a good downpour.
 
This summer I am trying to pay more attention to the plants in my yard which I guess I think of as my garden even though they are not all planted in one contained space.  I planted some lettuce, rosemary and basil along with geraniums and marigolds.  Watching things grow is hopeful!
 
As you wake-up and embrace today's events, here's a good thought about life's garden of loved ones:

"Let us be grateful to
people who make us happy;
they are the charming
gardeners who make our
souls blossom."

A Valentine Message

You don't love someone for their looks,
 
 or their clothes,
 
 or for their fancy car,
 
 but because they sing a song only you can hear.
 
                          ~ Oscar Wilde
 
 
 
Happy Valentine's Day!!
