The Amen of nature is always a flower.
— Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

In the Garden

Flowers with their burst of color, chase away the gray overcast days of winter in the Pacific Northwest.  They capture the energy of the sun, and bring the joyous promise of summer.  Butterflies share their grace and glory in the summer months. In fall, when all else in the garden has faded, the leaves take center stage.
