Garden Quote: Claude Monet
“I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.”
— Claude Monet
I too love flowers, I’ll never have strictly edibles in my garden. I’ll always have some peonies, siberian irises, zinnias, hollyhocks, foxgloves, hydrangeas, and other beautiful blooms in my gardens.
What’s your favorite blooming plant?

Idleness? Never
“Trouble Springs From Idleness.”
~~ Benjamin Franklin
No time for idleness here at Chiot’s Run. We’ve been busy, especially the last couple days. We have planted 6 trees and built a few rock walls, added a few more flowerbeds. I’ve also been planting most of my veggies in the outside gardens. It sure keeps us busy, no time to get into trouble that’s for sure.
The same can’t be said for Lucy though, all she’s got is idleness. She’s currently enjoying sleeping amongst the forget-me-nots and snapping at all the bees that are trying to get nectar from it.
What about you, any time for idleness or is the gardening season in full swing?

Quote of the Day: Rachel Carson
“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.”
~ Rachel Carson
We truly do live in a beautiful world. You can find beauty in nature everywhere you look. We often think of flowers when we think about the beauty of nature, but what about the little things we often don’t even notice, like moss.
What kinds of things do you find most beautiful about the earth?
