The Gardener

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

My photo
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.

I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles. - Audrey Hepburn
