It's time for silver bells under the tree

 

There they are again!




Almost invisible between the swirls of leaves, little Lilies of the Valley continue to persevere each spring. This is against many odds, like the tree roots and shallow soil, like the pressure of mulch poured over them, and of course to consider the chemicals to kill anything growing besides the grass over there beyond the tree.



Or you might see healthier ones in a nursery or garden shop!


Today's quote:

Peace is letting go—returning to the silence that cannot enter the realm of words because it is too pure to be contained in words.

  7. So pretty. For some reason they make me think of my grandmother, I think she must have grown them in her garden.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
