Many, few, one.

Snowdrops with the oaks The meadow mud squelches under tread and clings to boots. There, can you see that white beyond the heavy oak branches? There stand the ‘ helmitted’ snowdrops.

The garlic and the rose

Rudbeckia, echinacea and oak.

Here is my wording of  Psalm 119:11 God, your teachings, commandments, and promises when I have a deep personal internalisation of them, they guide and guard against sin.

First a thought from Proverbs 16:3 ‘ Commit your work to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established.’ Then this quote: ‘ God in heaven is true, and there is no design, however intricate, nor a motive, that He does not clearly understand.
