A Relaxing Video

Stress, regardless of the cause, can be debilitating for anyone. Over the last year we have all faced our share.

For many folks, sitting quietly watching a relaxing video, can be just what the doctor ordered.

If you need a break, this 5-minute video of our rose garden may be just what you need. So, find a comfortable position, take a few deep breaths and listen to Debussy’s Clair de Lune while you watch. Enjoy.

Getting to the Root of Things

This was written for me by a friend who enjoys our gardens. Both the perennials in the front of the house and the roses ‘out back.’
We all need roots in Mother Nature.

Blue Flower of Wellbeing

The blue flower
extends a single root
into the earth,

a gold thread
descending through
crust and the mantle,

to the iron core.
Your wellbeing,
your wealth,

your weal,
is a garden well
drawing water

toward sunlight,
toward fields
of blue flowers.
