Just living is not enough.
One must have sunshine, freedom,
and a little flower.
Hans Christian Anderson
Life requires tilling, planting, weeding, watering, and protection from the elements. It takes a lot of careful planning, hopes and dreams. A season may turn out differently from the last, but healthy growth always brings joy.
There have been times that my rows have not been straight and new growth has been mistakenly pulled for weeds. My tears occasionally over flowed, turning some leaves yellow and causing some stalks to rot in the soil. Ignorance also distracted me, leaving my ground cracked and dry.
Learning from 'Master Gardeners', I was able to restore roots in the healthy rich soil. Lush and colorful plants began to grow bringing fragrance and artistic measure into my life. In the midst of planting with sunshine and freedom, one little flower did sprout and grow ... I named her Amanda "Rose".
