The Crazy Garden

Every child is an artist.  The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.  ~Pablo Picasso

The artist's world is limitless.  It can be found anywhere, far from where he lives or a few feet away.  It is always on his doorstep.  ~Paul Strand

(vintage watering can ;)

WITH THAT SAID, WELCOME TO MY CRAZY GARDEN :)

IT IS TINY, BUT THERE IS LOTS TO LOOK AT...

I PEER AT IT FROM MY KITCHEN WINDOW...

DEFINITELY A CAT LADY'S DOINGS ;)

SINCE IT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY RAINY AND COOL (THUS THE SUMMER SWEATER), I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ENJOY A PEEK INTO MY CRAZY WORLD. I NEVER SEEM TO DO ANYTHING IN A 'REGULAR' WAY....

IF YA LOOK REAL CLOSE, YOU MIGHT FIND SOME PLANTS IN THERE ...

(IT CAN'T HURT ;)

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.  ~e.e. cummings

YEP, THERE ARE LIGHTS IN THERE...

Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.  ~Kahlil Gibran

You must not know too much, or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and water-craft; a certain free margin, and even vagueness - perhaps ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things...  ~Walt Whitman

If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.  ~Eleonora Duse

HELP ME OUT, BELLA, A WILD STRAWBERRY ?

I am not a lover of lawns.  Rather would I see daisies in their thousands, ground ivy, hawkweed, and even the hated plantain with tall stems, and dandelions with splendid flowers and fairy down, than the too-well-tended lawn.  ~W.H. Hudson,The Book of a Naturalist, 1919

The tulip and the butterfly

Appear in gayer coats than I:

Let me be dressed fine as I will,

Flies, worms, and flowers exceed me still.~Isaac Watts

I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.... People think pleasing God is all God care about.  But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.  ~Alice Walker, The Color Purple, 1982

TOLD YA I LIKE PINK FLAMINGOS :)

A HUNTER IN MOTION ....  SHE'S SO CUTE WHEN SHE TRIED TO BE ALL WILD ;)

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul.  ~John Muir

Love and Peace to you all,

Reva :)
