"The whole earth is a living icon of the face of God. ' - St. John of Damascus

I see the world as a vast, beautiful place that I will never be able to full see or understand and since my brain has had a hard time computing words during quarantine, the above quote says what I want to say on Earth Day. This photo from a couple weeks ago is of a massive spirea bush that had just started to bloom. Spirea is my favorite!

Tulip magnolias in the spring are truly magnificent.

I cut this pierris japonica (also known as andromeda) and purple hellebores (below) from my yard.

These lilacs were so fragrant, the scent filled up every room downstairs!
