Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.

    i love your thought for the week and your beautiful flower Cherie…
    it’s not that a child knows poems by heart…
    it’s because they write them for us….peter:)

    Wonderful flower, they are so delicate and I hope that night-frost will stay away.
    I love the quote.

      As we paid to enter the garden we were told that we must go and see the Magnolias because they were magnificent. And there was a likelihood of frost in a few days so they would be spoiled.

    Wisteria is blooming everywhere in London. :)
    I had such a lovely time at Fulham Palace yesterday.
    There’s huge walled garden there, with lots of apple trees.
    All blooming at the same time.
    Such a beautiful garden/ orchard. ;)

    Sometimes a bit stubborn child, right? :)
    I like that quote, Cherry, and the Magnolia is lovely. We have one like this on the company premises and I pass by it every afternoon. I always enjoy its unique gentle buds and then flowers.

    I LOVE magnolias. One of my clients[in England] ha a fantastic old magnolia tree which was picture perfect…until the frost.

    Interesting thought, although “the child” changes the poem just a little bit each time, which is what gives it such creative power.
