Edith Holden, today you have been pre-empted for an important message from one Miss Gracie Meitzler. Edith, I have enjoyed posting religiously on Muse Day from your “Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady”, but not today, not this Muse Day. Today belongs to Gracie.
Gracie and her mom, Carrie, gave my garden TLC while I was in Orlando for two weeks. My granddaughter’s second birthday party was at our house the day after I returned. Thanks to Carrie and Gracie, my garden was gorgeous.
Gracie, inspired, took pen (well maybe not literally a pen) in hand to bless me with this:
GARDEN
Place of pleasure, beauty and love
Brainchild of the gardener
Where God’s creation clearly shows
All this is the garden.
Reds and greens to blues and whites
the colors of the rainbow show
God made each and every one
With paintbrushes, He had some fun
Then the peace of a job well done
Brings beauty and love into one
As God and man work together
all things grow with help from weather
The beauty of the garden shows
even through the rains and snows
Enchanting
Grace Meitzler
Whereforth cometh the inspiration to wax poetic? Garden Bloggers’ Muse Day, where Carolyn Choi of Sweet Home and Garden Chicago, invites bloggers to share our favorite poems, songs, verses and quotes about gardening on the first of the month.
Hey that is really cool! Now Gracie has been published. She will love this. She has been my garden buddy since she could toddle behind me checking “the new babies” coming up in the garden.
Thanks Carol!
