Something is happening in Tennessee

I do not envy the owners of large gardens.
The garden should fit its master...
just as his clothes do;
it should be neither too large
nor to small,
but just comfortable.
-Gertrude Jekyll

That song does say it all and Jackie's Song made me misty eyed. How beautiful!

RE: A quote that inspires you?

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. Proverbs 15:1

Nature

I
When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom'd,
And the great star early droop'd in the western sky in the night,
I mourn'd, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.

Ever-returning spring, trinity sure to me you bring,
Lilac blooming perennial and drooping star in the west,
And thought of him I love.

II

O powerful western fallen star!
O shades of night – O moody, tearful night!
O great star disappear'd – O the black murk that hides the star!
O cruel hands that hold me powerless – O helpless soul of me!
O harsh surrounding cloud that will not free my soul.

III

In the dooryard fronting an old farm-house near the white-wash'd palings,
Stands the lilac-bush tall-growing with heart-shaped leaves of rich green, With many a pointed blossom rising delicate, with the perfume strong I love,
With every leaf a miracle – and from this bush in the dooryard,
With delicate-color'd blossoms and heart-shaped leaves of rich green,
A sprig with its flower I break.

- Walt Whitman

I was wondering about him myself.

Sit as long as you need to, Sweetie. Everyone is welcome to be bewildered now and again HJ and Conrad welcome the company too.

I think it pisses God off when you walk by the color purple in a field and don't notice it. -The Color Purple
maybe just a violet, as small as innocent as they are.

Thank you for the history of this beautiful song.

"Well if you strike a match and set the whole world aflame
And they used up the oceans and still prayed for rain
When they cry for the guilty, I'll take the blame
And when no one is listening, I'll whisper your name"

Oh, to be loved like that!

This Springtime in Tennessee is more amazing than any other I have ever known. The grass is greener, the skies bluer, the flowers more full and colorful, and the birds have sung sweeter.
