Garden Day

I went to the hosta garden today at the Botanical Center.  I like to go there and just hang out.  I read, watch the ducks, pray, and drink coffee.  Even though it's crazy hot outside, when I'm sitting in the gardens, it's nice and cool.

Here are four ducks that are always together.  They're usually by the lake, out with the other ducks and geese, but sometimes, I find them in the hosta garden.   Sometimes, they come out suddenly from behind a bush and they start "talking."  It almost looks like they're guilty of doing something naughty and have been caught in the act.  Once in a while, they take a nap in the garden. 

There are lots of little gardens at the Botanical Center.  You have your choice!

The rose garden always smells wonderful!

Chad likes these blue spruces

The entrance to the hosta garden

Such a peaceful and shady place to sit on a hot day

The view from the bench where I usually sit

Can't forget my coffee

Just the perfect shoes to wear in a garden

Going back home now

Isaiah 58:11 (NASB)

“And the Lord will continually guide you,

And satisfy your desire in scorched places,

And give strength to your bones;

And you will be like a watered garden,

And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
