    Danielle, concerning the hard time you've had recently....let me encourage you to focus on 'today'. We cannot change one thing about 'yesterday' or the past...we can try to work things out with people, which we should, and forgive and let go..but today is what we have. We cannot even live in our 'tomorrows'. Our minds are always trying to control the outcomes of what we cannot control...we are only responsible for ourselves, our actions, our remaining grateful, and only living in 'today'. God bless you. He loves you. That saying "Let go and Let God" may apply here. Thank you for the beautiful garden tour..it speaks to His beauty and how majestic He is. Lori

      Well said Lori.
      Many people now have had such a hard time. It was bad enough with the isolation and fear from the virus, now people are struggling to make ends meet for just basic necessities. We do need to try to focus on the opportunity of each day to try to remain grateful and be a peace. It's hard I know but I hope for all today, especially you Danielle, that your day goes well and things become brighter. We all need to stick together and support each other.

    Danielle, I lost my garden companion last September. Angus was the sweetest, most loving canine. We had many years togethet, but I was never going to be ready to say goodbye. He always laid watch while I toiled in the garden, or would do walk-abouts with me. My heart and my garden just haven't been the same without him here. I love your new library picture, and I understand every bit of what you were explaining. ❤

    Hello Danielle
    The picture you showed and describe as being peaceful is something we all long for, a time when we no longer have a bad experience or suffer hurt or pain. Whatever you have recently been thru I pray it gets better for you. God promises to give us all a beautiful future and a hope of living in a world without hurt or pain. Revelation 21: 4. You so lovingly share your beautiful garden with us and we appreciate it and guess what, God will not forget the love you've shown us thru your hard work!

    Thanks for the idea about planting early/mid season tulips together and then late season tulips somewhere else to enjoy 2 great shows. I prefer vibrant tulips too -- love the orange/purple combo. I know putting in the library really did a number on your soil and then moving it over to that spot, but it just add so much to that space. I love how it looks like it has always been there.

    Your garden transformation over the nine years is amazing! The tulip and daffodil display is truly breathtaking! The library makes the perfect focal point at the end of the main walk. So glad you placed it there. I agree with the person who suggested painting the water barrel- it’s distracting beside the grey garbage. How kind of your dad to create the perfect painting for your library. Love all Grace’s happy tail wagging!

    Hi Danielle, your garden is beautiful. Your video of the first bouquet you purchased after having your daughter was at the time I was going through hardship. Very emotional. All the knowledge you have shared here with this community is truly a reminder of the good we can do. As a person of faith I believe we will have highs and lows. The lows are a reminder to reflect and cherish the good that we have. Your Dad’s painting is perfect! Wow, he is talented.

    Danielle - you are an incredible gardener. My favorite garden that you share is always yours. I love that you share preferred varieties. I love the wood look of your library and how it has become a focal point. Like your dad you have inherited his artist ability. How wonderful to have this forever picture of Grace. Take care.
