Gardening Quote of the Day

"A something in a summer's day, As slow her flambeaux burn away, Which solemnizes me. A something in a summer's noon, -- An azure depth, a wordless tune, Transcending ecstasy. And still within a summer's night A something so transporting bright, I clap my hands to see;"

(Emily Dickinson)
