Cherish is my favorite word, and I cherish the ability of turning the routine into a beautiful moment.
Nature creates in me, a spiritual and meditative time to bring peace, harmony and balance, into an otherwise ordinary day~

Come Into The Garden~

Gardens On Tingsgrove and Beyond~

These collage images lack the absolute when it comes to flower names, for while some of these are along the pathways of Tingsgrove, others are from Sue and Mona's gardens.  Even they do not remember the names of them all, but rather enjoy their beauty while they last.  This is the first day of August and the month of July was brutal on Kentucky and surrounding states.  I am certain based on the 90' temperatures set again for this week, that August shall be just as brutal.  The flowers have begun to brown up a bit, in need of a good soaking, so I took these while they were at their peak.  Happy August~
