A vase of spring flowers.

I have trusted in your steadfast love God; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

Psalm 13 :5
The top hat vase  filled with flowers from vases featured in past posts :
four double tulips,
  lilacs ,
five garlic flowers,
and
three stalks of green alkanet.
All with small pieces of sweet woodruff , cleavers, and a couple of Geum flowers.

Flowers from our spring garden.

A warm goodbye to its joy.

As has been said so well:

A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift: above all, it teaches entire trust.

Gertrude Jekyll

Let us travel with these words patience, watchfulness, and thrift:

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Patience is not simply waiting it is how we are waiting.

A person who is a master of patience is master of everything else.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau ,Joyce Meyer, George Savile

These are the same ones I painted.

Watchfulness

If you are affronted/ insulted, it is better to pass it by in silence,or with a joke, though with some dishonour, than to endeavour revenge. If you keep reason above passion, that and watchfulness will be your best defenders.

Isaac Newton 1643 – 1727 His greatest work, the Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy 1687.

Thrift

Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before them constantly.

Thomas A Edison (1847 – 1931 He was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of organised science and teamwork to the process of invention , working with many researches and employees.)

We will soon be travelling sandyroybessbugsy. We aren’t sure of exactly where we will stay or what roads we will use, but you are welcome to be with us. I will blog as often as I can.  Sometimes, I will have no connections, but I will always try.

To those who are new to my style of posting and do not know who we are: We are Sandy and Roy , wife and husband. We travel in a small motorhome with our dog Bess. My enjoyment of visiting places lies in my personal experience of them and this is reflected in the photographs I take, quotes, and writing.

I also want you to know that my husband and I love God because He loved us first, giving us a new life through the death of His Son Jesus Christ so I do start each post with a Bible verse.

This will be the last post for a while as we  will be leaving soon.

Take care.

Sandy 🙂
