“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.
Walter Rauschenbusch

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Gladiolus of the day...

This one is similar to the gorgeous one of the other day, but the coloration is actually a little bit different.  But look at all those blooms up and down the length of the stalk !
Today's new one






The one from a week or so ago.



















And this new one is a delicate peachy-pink color.

This is my single Rose of Sharon that the deer made a meal of.
  It is persevering and is my favorite because it reminds me of the ones I had on Draper Avenue in Shawnee.  Rose has one growing in her yard that looks like softcolored pepperment swirls.  She gave me a couple of new starts this Spring......I hope that one of them is like that.  Coming in the mail this Fall is a three-in-one, with pink, white, and blue growing all together.

    I love your glads. I had a peach/cream one at our last home. We have one Rose of Sharon here that is pale pink with a red center.
    Hope you enjoy the afternoon. We are having light rain and cooler temps - YEAH!!!
