Seasons Pass
by Ogee
Winter turned the page to Spring. By next week, it will feel like we are beginning Summer’s chapter. Time passes much too quickly to wish away the seasons.

During the week, it seemed like everything was in bloom – like an orchestra moving from chaotic warm up notes to a full blown symphony… only this symphony was of sight, color and smell. So overwhelmingly beautiful – I scarcely know how to describe it. Everywhere I looked there was […]

Renewed
by Ogee
“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke It is hard to be a weekend-only gardener of the Homeward Bound Memorial Garden. So much changes during the week at this time of year; I have to take time just to soak it up each Saturday morning when I return. It is amazing to see last year’s perennials push their way skyward once again as the garden reshapes itself after […]
