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.

Welcome to a garden stroll today. As you can see, my greenhouse has had an "en-lightening" thanks to my husband.

Pinecone ginger blooming (small yellow buds)

Tiny mauve daylily

Crinum

Hello!

Another "Urn" plant (Aechmea Fasciata bromeliad)

That "Pumpkin"

Big, uh?

Thanks for stopping by!

That pathway to your greenhouse is so inviting that I find I want to meander along it with you. Your garden is lovely, and I found you through Randy's blog.~~Dee

Marilyn,
Your garden is so beautiful! Pumpkin has to be the biggest daylily I've ever seen. It will most certainly go on our wish list.--Randy
