Nature Resurrecting

Something wonderful is afoot this year.

I am seeing a Resurrection Garden.

Bitten and left for dead by a late freeze,

Nature again proves it's resilience.

This wisteria~~top decimated from cold~~

Bravely pops out leaves and a fragrant flower bunch

low on the vine as the top

begins it's transformation as well.

Blackberry blossoms and bees.

Bees which had swarmed my Weeping Cherry,

only to vanish in the cold.

They have returned in abundance and

dance merrily on the warm breezes.

Fragile creatures as they are,

May Apples lean toward the sun

in the cool and lush shadows

of small wooded areas.

Air redolent with the rich smell

of earth and wood humus.

No perfume can match.

Multiflora rose hedge, considered by many

noxious, a haven for birds,

scents the air with it's plethora of blossoms.

Like being wrapped in a

massive corsage.

Goats beard (another so-called weed)

has braved the cold and offered up

a globe of seeds.

Gaze and see the future...finer than

crystal.

My *railroad rose*~~named for where I dug it~~

which has not bloomed for years.

A blossom of perfection, 

a petticoat of buds.

Amazing.

And my peach/pink iris.

Long gone from the flowerbed.

Happily nodding to me,

urging me out with camera,

smiling as I focus.

I think God's Garden is one of many Miracles.

He knows no weeds or preferential

plants....

just the beauty that sustains.

Returning, from the harshest conditions.

Bringing 

Faith, 

Hope,

unconditional Joy.

Savoring each moment.

Reminding myself of the blessing 

of

EVERY DAY.

Pax....
