This morning before 7:30 the sky was grey and fine droplets of water moved in the air. I looked up at the tops of the trees in the garden and thought of how much was happening for these living stalks. I then looked down at what was already grey and green. This post is goingContinue reading “Winter stalks,Cardoon and garlic…”

Autumn roses and poppy seeds
Religion Here is God speaking to Moses: “The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving : Iniquity: immoral or grossly unfair behaviour Transgression: an act that goes against a law, rule or code of conduct, an offense Sin: an act of disobedienceContinue reading “Autumn roses and poppy seeds”
A walk with morning sun and a garden bed of different shades of green.
David speaking: ‘ They have great peace who love your law, and nothing will offend them.’ Psalm 119: 165 ‘ Those who receive the righteousness of the law in Christ are in harmony with heaven.’ EG White. If there were no law Jesus wouldn’t have had to die. Our forgiveness is assured but our freeContinue reading “A walk with morning sun and a garden bed of different shades of green.”
Peter, Hibiscus and Anemone.
A conversation between Peter and Jesus. Peter: ‘ How many times should I forgive my brother/ sister/ child/ a person? I think seven times seems perfectly generous! Jesus: Not seven! Seventy times seven! And then Jesus had another one of His stories: ‘A person owed a lot of money. Those times you could sell yourContinue reading “Peter, Hibiscus and Anemone.”
Wasps and cormels.
Here is my thinking about how Jesus loved the Pharisees (love your enemies…) So, it looks like Jesus agrees with the Pharisees by clarifying His relationship with the law. ‘Don’t think that I have come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I come not to destroy but fulfil.’ So what could they say toContinue reading “Wasps and cormels.”
Beauty bush, old-fashioned weigela, and canola.
I thought beauty bush and old fashion weigela were the same shrub until last week. They were already well established plants32 years ago, where they grew and bloomed together. Can you notice anything different? See the difference. Is there a noticeable difference? Kolkwitzia amubilis / Beauty bush is less common, and the flowers are smallerContinue reading “Beauty bush, old-fashioned weigela, and canola.”
Tulips in a vase and the garden.
Jesus speaking: ‘ Why are you thinking these things? Is it easier to say to the sick, your sins are forgiven or to say to a disabled person walk? I want you to know that I, Jesus, have power to forgive sins. Jesus turns to the man who can’t walk and says: ‘I tell you,Continue reading “Tulips in a vase and the garden.”
Rudbeckia and Cardoon.
I think this will be the last bud on Rudbeckia. Its companion bud has not faired/fared too well. I look forward to the spring and new growth. (Faired better or fared better? If an adjective ( or adverb) is called for , fair is the word; if a verb is wanted, fare is the choice. FaredContinue reading “Rudbeckia and Cardoon.”
