To grow is to change, to change is to require different needs and different habitat.
Without change, there would be no novelty; no surprise, and without those fraternal twins, life could feel flat as a postage stamp.
Pictures by Larra. Words by Diane Ackerman in her book “Cultivating Delight – a Natural History of My Garden” that I am currently reading. It’s a good book!
“The kind of book only a poet could write, and only a gardener could appreciate.”

I love the top photo. Great capture!!
ReplyDeleteYou always find perfect words to go with your photos.
**Smiles**
That first paragraph really rings a bell.
ReplyDeleteExcellent photgraphs ... and words.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rainy! I think from now on we will be playing at the Multiply or Wordpress garden most of the time. I prefer Wordpress, but not many friends there yet. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI like the book very much. Knowing that you love garden too , I think you will enjoy the book as well. Right now, while in the midst of preparing papers and slide presentation for next week meeting, I am imagining myself sitting in 'my garden' watching the deer eating apple crab at the end of the garden while listening to lily-of-the-valley ringing its maniature bells. Ah, I am in heaven for a while. *wink*
Err, I better get back to work before my BOSS found me. LOL
Hi Heather. Great to have you back!
ReplyDeleteIt sure does. :)
Sometimes when we are too comfortable in our 'comfort zone' we forget about 'change'. I am still learning and adapting myself to changes surrounding me especially my personal life as age catching up! :)
Thanks Charlie! I always love that weed! :)
ReplyDelete~ thank you for sharing the wonderful poem of wisdom that comes with age, as are your photographs of grey haired nature with their seeds of new beginnings ~ wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Brenda! That grey haired weed never failed to amaze me. :)
