O brief, bright smile of summer! O days divine and dear the voices of winter’s sorrow Already we can hear. and we know that the frosts will find us, and the smiling skies grow rude, While we look in the face of Beauty, and worship her every mood Picture Quote #1
When in the fresh mornings I go into my garden before anyone is awake, I go for the time being into perfect happiness Picture Quote #1

The eternal sound of the sea on every side has a tendency to wear away the edge of human thought and perception Picture Quote #1
When in these fresh mornings I go into my garden before anyone is awake, I go for the time being into perfect happiness. In this hour divinely fresh and still, the fair face of every flower salutes me with a silent joy.... All the cares, perplexities, and griefs of existence, all the burdens of life slip from my shoulders and leave me with the heart of a little child that asks nothing beyond the present moment of innocent bliss Picture Quote #1
It is curious that the leaf should so love the light and the root so hate it Picture Quote #1
I am fully and intensely aware that plants are conscious of love and respond to it as they do to nothing else Picture Quote #1

Once more their weird laughter of the loons comes to my ear, the distance lends it a musical, melancholy sound. For a dangerous ledge off the lighthouse island floats in on the still air the gentle trolling of a warning bell as it swings on the rocking buoy; it might be tolling for the passing of summer and sweet weather with that persistent, pensive chime Picture Quote #1
Soon will set in the fitful weather, with fierce gales and sullen skies and frosty air, and it will be time to tuck up safely my roses and lillies and the rest for their winter sleep beneath the snow, where I never forget them, but ever dream of their wakening in happy summers yet to be Picture Quote #1
It seems to me the worst of all the plagues is the slug, the snail without a shell. He is beyond description repulsive, a mass of sooty, shapeless slime, and he devours everything Picture Quote #1
Ever since I could remember anything, flowers have been like dear friends to me, comforters, inspirers, powers to uplift and to cheer Picture Quote #1
So deeply is the gardener’s instinct implanted in my soul, I really love the tools with which I work; the iron fork, the spade, the hoe, the rake, the trowel, and the watering pot are pleasant objects in my eyes Picture Quote #1
