Rhonda's Garden

I was leaving my cousin's house - admiring her many secluded little gardens, when I saw a butterfly. Then another! We spent a wonderful few minutes stalking pictures, then I had to go. Somehow I need to try to make more time for family. My cousin lives just a 10 minute walk away, and we haven't talked since last summer!!! I just hope she doesn't think I'm only coming over for the gardens ... and the butterflies ... :)

The Butterfly in My Garden

“Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued,
is always just beyond your grasp, but which,
if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you”
Nathaniel Hawthorne

The butterfly counts not months but moments,
and has time enough. ~Rabindranath Tagore

The butterfly is a flying flower,
The flower a tethered butterfly.
~Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
~Irish Blessing
