In my garden there is
a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers
is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The
thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the
dreams are as beautiful. ~Abram L. Urban |

Spring
Feeling the
last breath of cold winter we set our face into the sun and
think of Spring.
The first
Spring baskets for sale appears in the Selling Table.
Oh, give us
pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year
by Robert
Frost
|
All through the long winter, I dream of my
garden. On the first day of spring, I dig my
fingers deep into the soft earth. I can feel its
energy, and my spirits soar
from Helen Hayes

Sitting
quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by
itself” Zen
-
Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my
heart
- by
Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885)
Summer
|
There's a time each year
That we always hold dear,
Good old summer time;
With the birds and the trees'es
And sweet scented breezes,
Good old summer time,
When you day's work is over
Then you are in clover,
And life is one beautiful rhyme,
No trouble annoying,
Each one is enjoying,
The good old summer time.
by Ron Shields
-
In summer, the song sings itself.
-
William Carlos Williams (1883 - 1963)
There shall be eternal summer in the grateful
heart from Celia Thaxter

Summer gives us so much flowers.
The
selling table is full of sunflowers, red ones,
white, yellow. Name it. Its a celebration in
colours. So the sellingtable is full of colours
and often bees and butterflies are seen in the
Flowergarden.
The
serene philosophy of the pink rose is
steadying.Its fragrant, delicate petals
open fully and are ready to fall, without regret
or disillusion, after only a day
in the sun. It is so every summer. One can
almost hear their pink, fragrant
murmur as they settle down upon the grass:
'Summer, summer, it will always be summer.'

Autumn
Autumn is a
second spring when every leaf is a flower. Albert Camus
October's
poplars are flaming torches lighting the way to winter.
Nova Bair
Winter is an
etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and
autumn a mosaic of them all. Stanley Horowitz
Youth is like
spring, an over praised season more remarkable for biting
winds than genial breezes. Autumn
Wonderful
Autumn
All kinds of
Colourfull Autumn baskets and pieces are for sale!
Beautiful
Colours of Corn and Pumpkins, Autumn Flowers. It smells
often delightful
October gave a
party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
George Cooper, "October's Party"
Bittersweet
October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause
between the opposing miseries of summer and winter.

Winter
We celebrating
the winter with a lot of Chrismas stuff. There is a lot of
Christmas pieces for sale. In December we have a special day
where all the neighbours of FlowerGarden comes together and
one person makes a really tasty soup and one gives the
visitors gluhwein and people meet the Flowergarden and buy
often a beautiful christmasbasket or something else they
like.
After the
celebration of new year it became silent on the Flowergarden.
There are not much buyers. In the selling stall there is
some food for birds basket for sale.
But the planns
are growing and Heleen start with collecting seeds and
plants them.
Every mile is
two in winter. George Herbert

After Chrismas and the celebrating of the new
year the garden becomes silence and then its
hardly imagine that the summer will be full of
colours. |

Now you see the
land very well
Let
us love winter, for it is the spring of genius.
Pietro Aretino |
prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone
structure of the landscape - the loneliness of
it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits
beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.
Andrew Wyeth
|
Every winter,
When the great sun has turned his face away,
The earth goes down into a vale of grief,
And fasts, and weeps, and shrouds herself in sables,
Leaving her wedding-garlands to decay -
Then leaps in spring to his returning kisses.
Charles Kingsley
