Wheelchair Gardener

Inspiration

We do not remember days...

We remember moments.

(Cesare Pavese)

"An hour in the garden puts life's problems into perspective."

Some say I am confined to wheelchairBut I don’t think they know

That though my body is affected I still am on the go.

I go to visit those I love

And walk to market place;

I tread the woods until it rains

And then the rainbow trace.

Of course my body cannot always go

For it’s been restricted for days,

But who would say paralysis confines

A soul and mind that dreams and prays?

Although my body sometimes lets me down

Through days of darkest night,

My spirit soars on wings of prayer

And moves with speed of light.

In dreams and prayer I visit those I love;

Great is the gift of prayer;

And when my thoughts are beamed toward you

You’ll sense my presence there.

Indigo Bunting in the feeder

We have seen a lot of Indigo's at the feeder. They are beautiful!

The Chickasaw Garden Club plant sale is over. We had a great turnout from the community. Thanks! Here is a picture of some of ladies who worked.

Do you have any trees and bushes in the yard? Birds come to a feeder in stages. They first light in a tree and check out the area, then they might come a little closer and perch on a bush, then to the feeder.
