Four Seasons in a Garden

By Judy Carlson

Life is such an incredible gift, but I took my days for granted. When I became ill I wanted to see, hear, feel, touch, and taste all that was before I had to leave. Through an act of kindness, my neighbor Rose started me on a garden journey. She planted three rose bushes in my yard to surprise me. I developed a love for flower gardening and then a living relationship with my garden. I learned so much about life and myself from the garden. I share with you the spring, summer, autumn, and winter of Life.
