Less Word Wednesday...

I have loved watching the evolution of Eli's Garden this summer. It just doesn't seem that the photos that I have taken do it justice. So, you'll have to trust me when I say, as you sit in the yard, you can clearly see the yellow and white of the daisies, the deep purple of the salvia, the pure purple of the lavender, the soft pink of the Sweet William along with the punctuation of bright magenta from another vintage flower that we've always overlooked . I love how there are flowers that we purchased, that were given to me from the garden of one of my best friends, flowers that were plucked from various places on the property and flowers that were already in this location and referred to as "weeds" just last year. The garden is getting ready to go through another growth spurt as the butterfly bush and the "nursery" daisies are preparing to bloom along with the heliotrope. I'm really excited to see what his garden looks like in several weeks.

I found your blog through baby loss directory and was struck by the story of your sweet Eli. I have always wanted to plant a tree or develop a garden for my son, Moses. Your garden is absolutely beautiful! What a great place to remember his LIFE!
I am sorry for your loss - he is a beautiful creation of the Father.
Grace and peace to you-

Thats great! I am so excited you shared with us from the beginning and even just the idea of a garden and now look at it. Amazing and the only word I can think of is "Growth".
