If Hope Grew On A Bush

by Christina Georgina Rossetti

If hope grew on a bush,
And joy grew on a tree,
What a nosegay for the plucking
There would be!
But oh! in windy autumn,
When frail flowers wither,
What should we do for hope and joy,
Fading together?

Oh My Goodness Life has gotten away from me this week and I do apologize for not popping in with post ...this week has been crazy ..we went back to the house, the house, the one I talk about constantly obbsess over the one which I loved...we arrived at 10 pm at night and I stepped out of the car and immediately started pulling weeds from the flower beds without even unpacking without going in ..I was devasted the yard was a wreck... Ox opened the door to the house and let the kiddos in came back out and tried to talk to me in the mist of my insanity .... I had to compose myself I had so many feelings stirring up inside of me I knew that I had to calm the tornado before I spoke...My house, My home, My little plot of paradise looked abandoned and desolate it was heart wrenching. Ox tried to comfort me but there was nothing anyone could of said at that point...he said what would be best was for me to get some sleep come on in we'll talk in the morning. The Morning came and I woke forgetting where I was this strange place wasn't my home anymore it was a house yes but not my home  ...it was eye opening to wake and realize it isn't the house.. It's the home I make for my family that counts I can't let an apartment get in the way of making a home a place of comfort wherever God leads us ... I am truly blessed even in this valley I'm in right now I know if Ox and I climb the mountain together we will find our hilltop

Today's Photo ..Is on growing ...as the saying goes... Where There is a Will There is a Way

Friday Foto "Spring"

FRUIT BLOSSOM

From Blossoms

From blossoms comes
this brown paper bag of peaches
we bought from the boy
at the bend in the road where we turned toward
signs painted Peaches.

From laden boughs, from hands,
from sweet fellowship in the bins,
comes nectar at the roadside, succulent
peaches we devour, dusty skin and all,
comes the familiar dust of summer, dust we eat.

O, to take what we love inside,
to carry within us an orchard, to eat
not only the skin, but the shade,
not only the sugar, but the days, to hold
the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into
the round jubilance of peach.

There are days we live
as if death were nowhere
in the background; from joy
to joy to joy, from wing to wing,
from blossom to blossom to
impossible blossom, to sweet impossible blossom.

- Li-Young Lee

Friday Foto " Tomato"

Home Grown Ripe Plump Tomatoes

Yes those are mine.. grown with my own hands completely organic ... canned fresh salsa...homemade ketchup..stewed tomatoes..whole tomatoes...tomato sauce... what am I going to do this year I actually have to buy this stuff I'm kind of heartbroken ...

Oh My Goodness!! Oh My Goodness!!

This time of year was when we started planning our garden what was going in what raised bed what will we plant in the spring what will we plant in the fall... planting seedlings and hoping we'd have something to plant soon.... now I'm just praying I can have one tomato plant on our patio in the apartments...(because 30 would probably be a violation)...

I saved some seeds cant wait to go back to the house and get those ..so I can start a little tomato seedling and fresh herbs that is definitely on my mind

Black Eyed Susan

Not Sure if this was a Black-eyed Susan it was growing wild in the back of our lot, in the woods, I dug it up and incorporated the flower into my perennial flower bed now its taking over ..but that's the love of it

the house hasn't sold yet so I'm hoping to go back in March to see all the spring blooming I so miss my garden

Daisy's just scream spring don't they??

the YELLOW and WHITE are one of my favorite color combos

these are another flower that spreads like fire but I cant bare to split

Friday Foto "Sunset"

The colors of this muted lake sunset taken well camping has become inspiration for my next crochet blanket

the pinks and blues and slight purple hues will be a perfect combination

Butterfly Bush Photo

taken from my perennial garden at house

I was looking up a poem to put with this, I was intrigued with the history of this poem

(it has nothing to do with the picture)

Gelett wrote this poem and became famous for it

Purple Cow

I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

Gelett Burgess

 two years later he wrote this

Ah, yes, I wrote the "Purple Cow"—
I'm Sorry, now, I wrote it;
But I can tell you Anyhow
I'll Kill you if you Quote it

Makes you think do people regret their success or maybe just how they got there??
