you should smell like dirt.

You're only here for a short visit.

for several years. 
Grow what you love,the love will keep it growing.

and stop to smell the flowers along the way.

Don't you just love my little gray clay pot??
My 50 cent purchase at an antique mall.
I was wishing they had a dozen of them!
My adorable little fairy chair that I have had
for several years. I was in my potting shed today planting violas in teacups for a Ladies tea that we are having at our church on Sunday. Guess who is in charge of the decor?
ps...I am loving my new camera!
Happy playing in the dirt in the days ahead. :)

I wish I had a dozen of those little metal pots too! So cute!
I love your poems, and I think the Sunday tea idea is wonderful. Have a good time doing it.
Beautiful pictures - you are getting good with that camera! Really - is there anything better than digging in the dirt on a wonderful spring day? Enjoy!

I loved this post!
Pansies and violas are my all-time favorite flower. Followed closely by Hydrangeas, Peonies and Roses!
I love your new camera too! The two of you are taking amazing photos.
Have a blessed evening,

What delightful little blooms! so sweet and charming! Did you say you made a teacup plant for me?!! Thanks so very much for stopping by my place and reading about my spray paint fiasco....
Poetry and gardening really complement each other. I like the poems and the pictures of your planted violas. They're lovely! Something good, wonderful and beautiful comes out in playing with dirt. It's a different experience to be gardening in the garden.
