Chili Blooms!

Perfect edges line every petal
White as jasmine and cool as mint
Oh, wait till they turn to fruit
Taste the pepper hot sweat to heal!

Bunch of Blessings!

Blue Blessings!

Spring is here!!!
And my garden is waking up from winter sleep. As nature's wild and vibrant messengers the--so called--weeds sprout everywhere and of course the perennials.

I was fascinated by weeds even as a child, because the butterflies seemed to like them a lot. And in college, I did a seminar presentation on weeds and my research further convinced me that the term "weeds" is for human being and has nothing to do with the plants. GOD created everything for a purpose and we as human beings like to label everything relating to us.

We hear the ads: Weed them out! Spray at site, etc., etc... But, weeds still thrive and persist. May be GOD made the weeds extra resilient, because HE knew human nature. Definitely, we do not have answers to everything.

Do you like these blue blessings from my garden? Can you tell which is the weed and which is garden plant? Really?

These blue blessings, from my garden, display the beauty as GOD intended---just trusting Almighty GOD's wisdom!

Jacuzzi Garden

When the bird bath is still frozen...

Do you dream or wish...

You still have your herbal garden thriving...

I did. But not anymore!

I do have a thriving herbal garden that keeps me happy through the winter. As you can deduce from above, I just had to opt for shower baths!

What could be a better location than your bathroom-to keep your Lavender, Cinnamon Basil, Mint, Lemon Balm, Curry leaf plant and Jasmin surviving through winter!

Yes! You are not imagining. I do have my tangerines and Pomegranate plants raised from seeds of the tastiest, store bought fruits. I may need a green house eventually.

Who knows...I might be lucky enough to have that dream come true-with my Parakeets and colorful Hibiscus as part of that tropical greenhouse ecosystem.

What would I be without dreams?

Amidst the Grape vine and the Hostas...

Avidly glowing bright and blue shows
Angelic face of my pride Iris
Another May... has come she says!

Days to remember... from my Grandpa who
Lays at our Lord's feet having same Birth-
Day as my dear brother,then my nephew...
And my Mother(in-law) Agnes who loves
Handling my plants- cropping, clipping
And suprising even shocking me at times...In-
Tending Only Good- May GOD Bless 'em All!-By VeeraMahal FRANKLIN
