"For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth
forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God..."
Gardening Quote of the Day
"It's been said that life is like a garden.
Every small work of kindness
and every thoughtful gesture
is like a tiny seed.
And when you plant these seeds,
wonderful things can happen..."( -- Tracy Donovan)
