{The Kiss of the Sun for Pardon}

While at the Bok Tower in Lake Wales, Florida, we did buy another sweet gift at the giftshop.
This also resides in our veranda...

 Such a lovely quote by Dorothy Frances Gurney 1858 - 1932

The kiss of the sun
for pardon,
The song of the birds
for mirth,
One is nearer God's 
heart in a garden
Than anywhere else 
on earth.

    lieve Mariette ,
    Mijn gedachten gaan meteen na ons oud huis (in nederland )
    mijn moeder had ook een glasplaat in het achterraam hangen ...
    maar deze is een heel stuk mooier ..hoor ..en de text ook ...want die van ons had geen text ..
    heel veel liefs en een heel fijn weekend

    So very pretty. I do enjoy spending time on my balcony gardens. Am happy for the space to add a bit of green to our lives in this desert country and Jingles is very happy there is grass for her to eat that appears on its own. :)
