Good Morning,
I said to myself a few minutes ago "This Door County Toffee Pretzel Coffee tastes mighty fine this morning. It must be time to write."
When we layed out where our flower gardens would go it was decided to place the largest one so it could be seen from the road that passs by our home. This way those walking by or driving to and from their destination. We get a few compliments now and then from people who enjoy the view and fragrance from our work.That is all well and good. But!
Psalm 104:24 ESV O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all.; The earth is full of your creatures.
One plant in particular is now in bloom and soon it will be once again dormant, not to bloom until next year. It happens to be a favorite for both of us. The flowered site is also located in a way that we really cannot view it unless we go outside. In a few more weeks some wild flowers will be visible from our window. But the real beauty is hidden away from us. My wife Rene always says "Enjoy them while you can. Walk out and see them and enjoy the lavender fragrance as well."
If I could redo the placement of the flower bed it would be right outside our kitchen window, very visible to us. The cost to move it would be too expensive to do so, and too late in life to disrupt the yard. I guess I will live with my mistake and yet still beautify the scene from the road for others.
My point in all this is for us is to take some time and smell the flowers, before all the petals have fallen. Take an extra moment to enjoy the beauty given from above. And then look forward to next year and maybe plant some bulbs closer to the window!
God bless,
Marty
