{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.

{Mauve Double Rose of Sharon Hibiscus Behind Our Pond}

This year we have extended our collection of Hibiscus by lots of little plants.

Not all of these young plants did bloom this summer but one Mauve Double Rose of Sharon Hibiscus behind our Pond put on quite a show.

At least, it is my guess of being this a mauve color... I am not an expert!

Don't you love this fully double version?

Just a perfect blossom!

How beautiful such a double Rose of Sharon Hibiscus can be; just for one day...

                                                

{Agave Syrup Glycemic Index 15}

For the longest time, since 2007, I am also using Agave Syrup with a Glycemic Index of only 15, compared to refined sugar that has a GI of 80. That does make a huge difference for the body.

                                                                                     

At Costco Wholesale we always buy these twin-bottles of Agave Syrup.

Agave with a Glycemic Index: 15 just click on the link.

A Low-Glycemic sweetener bursting with flavor

For 7 years this fall, I have been eating sweeteners with a low Glycemic Index!

Very happy with a blood sugar level that has been in check.

Are you cutting down on your sugar intake as well?
