Well, I don’t know if you remember the nasturtium that I raved about earlier in the summer: Nasturtium I and Nasturtium II. My green thumb has not been so green of late so the plant has not survived. But even in death, I think it is quite beautiful.

Wild carrots, anyone?

Queen Anne’s Lace, also known as “wild carrot,” grows widely and wildly along the Charles River. It is so abundant that I sometimes ignore the sprawling plants, pushing it aside to get a glimpse of rarer, more colorful life. But sometimes the leaves and flowers of this plant catch the light in such a way that I cannot ignore their beauty.
The Beauty of Simple Gifts

Today I am reminded of the beauty of small gifts. A while ago a friend gave me a small potted plant of cuban oregano. I’ve been rushing around lately so while I usually remember to water the herb — thank goodness, it is a succulent — I hadn’t really paid attention to the little patch of expanding greenery. But this morning, feeling a little pokey and thus moving slower, I leaned over and pressed my nose close. And what did I discover? The sweetest scent, of course, one that brought a smile to my face…and immediately brightened my day. 😉

A single plant. Several stages of development. An unexpected find in a local park while out for a stroll.
And in one day …

A Quiet Sunday …

This quiet Sunday I found myself gardening. Procrastination, no doubt, from other tasks but I do like the end result. In the hallway where I live there is a glass topped wooden table and on the table there are some plants. This morning I removed the plants, cleaned the table and then covered the glass with an old shawl. I put most of the old plants back and then added a few new ones. It reminds me of a little oasis.
