5/13/12 Garden
Tour: A Garden of surprises and majesty. 7374 Abercrombie Lane. A “Master Gardener” lives here---that was not a surprise. Squirrel
baffles that actually work. Tidy bird feeders. Stone walkways without mud
traces. Different color blooms on the same plant. Roses with a glorious scent.
DISCLAIMER : This is NOT my garden.:
At my house,
“Squirrel Baffles” do not work; Oak Leaf hydrangeas do not survive; voles eat
the roots of the hostas; chipmunks dig in the impatiens; Racoons haul off the
bird feeders; and birds poop all over the patio furniture. Yet, even in
my yard, “Creation's revealing Your majesty.” (“Indescribable,”
Laura Story) Come on over
anytime.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing is
come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land; (Song of Songs 2:11-12)

And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was
not arrayed like one of these. (Matthew 6:21)
