More Gardening Thoughts

I just LOVE this garden. Several years ago we were living in California and one of our favorite places to visit, as a weekend getaway, was Greenwood Pier Inn in Elk, California. I took this garden picture there. If you notice, the center forms a circle and each bed comes from an area of the center circle, creating the shape of the sun / sunrays. It is a complete circular garden with rock paths between each bed. This is just a wonderful idea for a small 'kitchen garden' and something I would like to do. If you ate at the Inn, which we always did, and ordered a fresh garden salad, it came straight from the garden just that morning. Today's ramblings are short because there is much work to do in the country yard before the rain gets here tomorrow.
*A Few Thoughts To Ponder For The Day*
Eat God-made food...Fruits, vegetables and whole grains...
Keep moving and eat right...
No more excuses...
Sucess is a wonderful feeling...
Keep a journal of all the beautiful things that inspire you...
Be in pursuit of daily joy and small pleasures...
