White and quiet!
I gaze at images of hushed and pristine snow falling on gardens of northern friends,
and feel a yearning for cooler days by our woodfire to return again soon.
But we are in the height of our summer season and I must find my joy in this moment..
this very warm and sunfilled moment He has given me right here..today.
It is not quiet.
Birds and cicadas sing loudly outside my window pane.
But I do find my own blanket of white..
mass planted daisies to share with you!
Won't you sit a while with me, on pleasant grass under shady trees and catch your breath?
What a marvellous beauty is His creation of seasons.
Changing
turning
twirling
seasons.
And how like God, to order the dance of diversity with such intricate steps of joy!
blessings..Trish
(Photos of daisies are from a local garden I visited 2 weeks ago.)
Slowing down with Dayle for Simple Pleasures once again :-)
I love daisies!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Trish,
ReplyDeleteWhat a facinating daisy.

I am looking forward to autumn as it cools down and the smell of winter is in the air. We are having humid weather at the moment, very unusual for Canberra. I find it very draining.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful flowers.
Beautiful Daisy's. I so wish I was looking at some here in KY. The winter is wearing down on me. Ready for a change in the season.
ReplyDeletethese are so beautiful....and I'd take your white over ours...we're snowed in. ☺
ReplyDeleteThat is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful daisies! A lovely sea of white - our winter snow covers my daisies with it's "own blanket of white."
ReplyDeleteMake room for me! I'm willing to sit and enjoy your garden.
ReplyDeleteHow did you get that Daisy to curl it's ends?
Beautiful
This is just beautiful I wanted to bend down and smell these flowers...our snow will be gone soon and spring is around the corner...what a creative God to give us so many variations.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen anything quite like that first picture. It's so beautiful. I just have to direct my flower loving daughter to this link.
ReplyDeleteI also just loved the whole simple pleasure. Isn't it amazing how quickly we forget that while we're huddled in front of fires in this hemisphere, you are longing for some other white stuff in yours?
I think that little reminder IS my simple pleasure this morning.
Your daisy's are delightful !!! wish my yard was all warm so I could be out enjoying the flowers. Thanks for sharing as your flowers are beautiful
ReplyDeleteTrish, I've never seen a daisy like that. God is amazing in His creation. I'm sitting with you for a spell this morning, on the bench in your daisy-filled garden. Delightful!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Christine
Trish,
ReplyDeleteI guess I don't have to say that daisys are one of my very favorite flowers? That first picture of the curling daisy is fascinating...love it! Thanks for coming by and commenting on my SP of our 200 year old church tree.
It will be Spring here in 37 more days...

Ohh what beauty you see right now! I would love for you to share what winter is like for you when you experience it. Do you ever get snow? I have no idea. I just LOVED seeing that first picture of the daisy. Such simple beauty.

What beautiful flowers, and what simple pleasures they represent. We are in the mist of a ice storm right now so they really brighten my day.

I love daisies! How beautiful! Thank you for sharing these pictures! ;o) I am "itching" to get into the dirt and outside!
ReplyDeleteTrish:
ReplyDeleteAs I sit here watching the snow fall, I find myself longing for warmer days and hearing the call of cicadas. However, I enjoy the moment - the beauty, the stillness, the peacefulness. Before long, our seasons will be reversed. I think of the scripture verse, "to everything there is a season."
Blessings,
Joan
I find such pleasure in flowers. Truly one of life's greatest simple pleasures. God is amazing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics, Trish!
