Summer Beauty

The garden is in full bloom...
we have been taking time to enjoy it.
Come for a walk with me, I want to share it with you...

The roses are exceptional this year...

The front walk is lined with a trail of rose petals...

"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, 1600

I have no idea what these beautiful purple blooms are...
but they are lovely

The garden is alive with new growth...

The Clematis is lovely... it just started opening it's blooms a few days ago...

These Blanket Flowers just make me smile!

Psalm 111

Praise the LORD.
I will extol the LORD with all my heart
in the council of the upright and in the assembly.

Great are the works of the LORD;
they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Glorious and majestic are his deeds,
and his righteousness endures forever.

He has caused his wonders to be remembered;
the LORD is gracious and compassionate.

He provides food for those who fear him;
he remembers his covenant forever.

He has shown his people the power of his works,
giving them the lands of other nations.

The works of his hands are faithful and just;
all his precepts are trustworthy.

They are steadfast for ever and ever,
done in faithfulness and uprightness.

He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever—
holy and awesome is his name.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
