Expecting Beauty | Laveda D. Rockford

 


Expecting Beauty

It is the time in this season when you walk out into your flower garden and see things growing. Some are small beginnings but soon will be tall, glorious, plants or flowers. You notice that the trees are starting to fill with their lush greenery and bushes are starting to bud. Some have already completed their spring flowering, each in their own time. Your eye is following the ebb and flow of this season and that gives you joy of what will follow. Summers lush, delightful days.



Here are a few photos of my flower garden. Some of the flower buds are about to burst forth with their purple wings flying through the air delighting my senses. I know there are a lot of terrible things happening in our world but sometimes you have to go outside and look for beauty to ease the mind of sacrifices that so many are experiencing. Give your heart a little peace and look around for something beautiful. If at least for a moment of relief. Always expect something beautiful to happen in your life even during the tough times. That is how we get through the tough times. God bless you!

Love you all,

Laveda D. Rockford

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day. (Proverbs 4:18)   The Path My days are filled with work.

My Mother, her doctors say, is in stage four cancer and has been since 2015. However, we are blessed that she can still do a lot of things on her own.

I have not had time to write even though I have started my third book. The publisher that I contacted to publish my second book gave me an estimate but when I was ready to pay, they did not contact me again. I am wondering about this as I do have the funds and would like to begin. If you know of a publisher that is interested in a Christian novel, please send me the information so I c...

Ready For This | Laveda D. Rockford

  Ready for This Winter is shortly coming to an end, When spring colors do appear, What wonderful sights you see in shrubs and trees, Flowers of white, red, and yellow, with leaves of green, Shouts the joys of the spring, Singing loud before summers day, Oh, it is a wonderful day, When the earth wakes from sleep. © 2024 Laveda D.

Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford

  Flower Garden Season Composition | Laveda D. Rockford I am trying my best in the heat of early summer to complete my flower garden borders. I have been working on this vision for almost two years and have finally reached a point where I can show you and you can understand. The newest section will contain a small patio area with table and chairs surrounded on one side with Buxus as a screen of privacy. Burgundy Plum and Cherry trees, as well as Sand Cherry and a few tulips will welcome spring weather. Then Iris will rise up until they burst into their beauty. Purple, yellow, and a burgundy and white combination. Oh, what a delight. Late spring into summer, Yarrow (Achillea) rise higher and throw on their crown of flowers acting as a forerunner into summer’s beauty. Phlox, Whirling Butterflies (Gaura) purple Salvia, Shasta Daisy, Hydrangea and Clematis all vie for attention in the summer sun. The Rose of Sharon, single and double, tree and bush, will bring forth their beaut...
