The Gardener

I become inspired through artwork I love, beautiful words that uplift and the joy my family brings. If you find any of these things to your liking then won't you join me in my garden?

About Me

Polly: I love to watch things grow. I like to see how things turn out. That's why I like being a mom so much. I've been watching them since the beginning. I love planting flowers for the same reason. I plant something, I get to know each plant and flower, I watch them and care for them and protect them and then I stand back and see what happens. It is hard sometimes.. But the beauty always comes, in its own way and time. My garden is always a miracle to me. So are my children.

A few of My Favorite Things

"Everybody needs beauty..places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike."
~John Muir

"Live each season as it passes...~Henry David Thoreau

"Is the spring coming? he said. "What is it like?..."it is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine.." ~Frances Hodgson Burnett

"Summer afternoon-

summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language." ~Henry James

"Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn."

Baby, it's cold outside!

Along with watching things grow..

I enjoy a quiet
moment or two reading
a book or visiting
with good friends.

The Garden Grew..

The grandson's started arriving.

The first 4, and they just keep coming! No girls allowed in this family!

Grandsons # 5 and 6

Grandson #7

# eight has finally arrived

and guess what? we have our own real live little princess! Who knew little girls were so much fun!

In the beginning gardens can be pretty, but lack the ...

maturity of well worn plants and bushes.

"I get by with a little help from my friends." John Lennon

We love to travel

But always love coming home.

if you wander down my garden path,

and up the old stairs...

you might find

a lovely place where you can watch the world go by at your leisure..

Happiness sneaks through a window you didn't know you left open.

Lovely Audrey

I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing alot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles. - Audrey Hepburn

Never judge another til you've walked in their shoes

"I'd rather have roses on my table than diamonds on my neck." ~Emma Goldman

"Lately I have been thinking about how comfort is perhaps the ultimate luxury." ~Bill Baldwin
