For the Love of Life

I love flowers and plants. Watching them bloom and grow has been a recent hobby and there are some photos that explain why it is such a joy. God has made such beauty and wonder in living things.
The flowers that my friend sent after my visit with her and our friend Caralyn a few weeks back. It was a beautiful surprise!

The gorgeous Hibiscus that Bob's mom got me for my birthday! It's still blooming now - been a couple weeks!

My garden/ pride and joy! What a lot of work but how fruitful! If that isn't a parallel to the spiritual life, I don't know what is. This was taken a couple of weeks ago and since then I've had to unattractively stake up my tomato cages because the shear weight of the plants was pulling them over. The beans are almost done now but the basil is still going to town even after being plucked clean a few times! Can't wait for the gold mine of tomatos that is on it's way!
