Wheelchair Gardener: Not much this time of year

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.

The garden is slowly beginning to die back. Phlox are finishing their blooms, zinnias are getting rusty looking and it's time to cut back.

I love the Black-eyed Susan vine that grows on the garden bench

The Curcuma loves this time of year and shows off it's blooms. Click on the picture to see the beautifil little orchid-like bloom in the cup.

That is so neat. Will it grow from a cutting? if so, can I get one?
Your friends,
Tom and Deb

T & D, you may certainly have starters. They are bulb plants. As soon as they die down I'll give you a buzz.
