Hope Inspiring Resplendent Roses & Blossoms At Blessed Home Long Island, New York, Day Before My Birthday 2012 - IMRAN®
A dozen years ago before I penned these words in 2024, the rose bushes at my blessed home on Long Island, New York, were in full, glorious bloom. It was the early summer of 2012, the day before my 50th birthday.
The tornadoes and droughts of total economic meltdown, brought on by the policies of Republican President George W. Bush which enriched the super-wealthy with one trillion dollars of tax cuts, had wreaked havoc on my life as on millions of ordinary individuals, families, and entire towns. The next few years were spent on surviving, recovering, and rebuilding. Even then it was a rocky road.
By the time 2012 rolled in, after a labyrinthine journey of heart-sinking troughs, fleeting peaks, and unexpected drops into new valleys, life began to hint at a promising change ahead. I had to remind myself that life’s most exquisite blooms often come accompanied by the piercing thorns of reality.
The key is to persistently tend to one’s garden of dreams, rooting it in unshakeable faith, nurturing it with the water of hope, showering it with the rain of love, fortifying it with the grains of gratitude, and ceaselessly illuminating it with the lights of confidence, and perseverance.
No matter the adversities you face, remember, they are but temporary. You possess the strength to surmount them. Never let go of your dreams. Never relinquish your authentic self. Within you lies an indomitable spirit. You are capable of blooming despite the thorns. Are you ready to live the life you dream of?

Even though Squishy's face is out of focus I love this photo because it just shows how silly he is and no matter what situation we're in he will somehow find a way to make me smile. And yes, he did help me garden by watering the plants ;)
My husband definitely has a green thumb, and he enjoys gardening.
For 116 in 2016 #88 "Green Fingered".
Gardening, it helps Me Grow ! :)
This picture idea is not fully mine. I was inspired by a picture I had once seen on an internet site.
A composite created with my thumb impression & a small portion of Passion Vine leaves/stem.

February is flower month in our household, Valentine's Day, our anniversary, and this year my wife had surgery on her eyelids. Flowers are beautiful. Yet, how does one snap flower photos and make them fresh and unique? Well, I tried anyway!

My daughter-in-law has a beautiful flower garden and green thumb. They brought me this little bouquet that just screamed to be photographed.

I stopped the Mini on the way to take Benni to the park yesterday because I saw these unusual looking lilies. The background colors are from beautiful dahlias.
The very nice owner woman came out smiling, and said, "You're back, taking pictures of my flowers again." and I said how much I'd loved her dahlias this year. She told me how to grow, mulch, feed etc. etc. etc. (all going over my head), and offered to cut me a big bouquet of dahlias. I told her I loved to see them growing and worried about cut flowers when they were given to me.
A very happy encounter, even with Benni howling from the car 2 feet away.

This past Saturday, August 29th was the 10th Anniversary Tour of 14 Harlem and Washington Heights Gardens. The Harlem Green event started at 9:00 AM with a breakfast at the Joseph Daniel Wilson Memorial Garden on 122nd Street and concluded at 5:00 PM with a cookout at the William A Harris Garden on W 153rd Street and St Nicholas Avenue. Transportation was provided by 2 school buses but you could also walk or bike between the gardens. Each garden on the tour is unique and special in its own way but what they all had in common was a sense of community and a very warm welcome to all who visit. The tour was free.
Some of the gardens have been there for 50 years and others are more recent - they all are situated on former abandoned lots which were eyesores in the neighborhoods and have now been transformed into places that not only grow fruits and vegetables but also provide a green quiet retreat for the community and also as a place where children and adults connect with nature.
Most of the gardens are protected as part of the Greenthumb program or are New York City Parks but a few are threatened as it has become more profitable for developers to build on the sites.
These garden statues are in the Covent Avenue Garden, 151st Street and Convent Avenue
