The pungent smell of lilacs fills my nostrils as beads of sweat form on my brow. Overhead a melody can be heard as a song bird serenades me. I feel the warmth of the sun on my back and a peace washes over me as I toil in the dirt. I feel closer to my maker working amongst His creation. I experience that He made this earth for us to enjoy not only by basking in it's beauty but by working the land as well. I treasure the magic of the moments spent in the garden.
Gorgeous...both the picture and the words!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait til our lilacs start blooming...in like a month, but whatev' :)
and so how I love the sun (and being in the garden). I will miss him these next few days but hope he returns and stays for a while.
ReplyDeleteyeah - sunshine and gardening, what an awesome combination. Hoping it is more sunny in your 'hood than mine today :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo. Reminds me of the lilacs that were in bloom this time of year where we honeymooned.
