It's Magic
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES ON THE PLANET is the KSU Gardens in Manhattan, Kansas.
I try each year to make a special trip to the Gardens to see the Irises in bloom. The Tall Bearded Irises have begun to bloom. My favorite.
Over the years the Gardens have changed. The area where the Fountain is, use to be only lawn. A very nice addition to the property. Sidewalks have been added and the Irises moved from bed to bed through the years. I have studied the lay-out and continue to grow right along with it. Similar to the flowers.
Having a tendency to admire the TALL BEARDED IRISES. Every year I lean toward a certain color. Last year is was the bright yellows, the year before the WHITE.
LOVE the "Bridal Wreath" with vibrant white coloring and purple interior. This year I looked closer at the center of the bloom and saw first hand the purple coloring that I hadn't noticed before.
Nice surprise.
Our flowers between the sidewalk and the fence had become landlocked. These were relocated to the backyard and will be removed from the property after they bloom and fade. Some work ahead of us.
WHERE I GO... they go.

DECORATING
I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."
John 3:7
“Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
King James Version (KJV)
PSALM 118:17
I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.
By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding
it is established;
through
knowledge
its rooms are filled with rare
and beautiful treasures.
SALVATION
Romans 10:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Acts 4:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
"HOME is a wonderful place to LIVE. No matter the size of the rooms, ones HOME is a place to call ones own. I so LOVE my HOME." ~Deanna~
PSALM 90:12

WISHES
NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna

That certainly is Magic! Think we need to concentrate on the Yellow varieties this year when the KSU Garden's has their Iris sale! Will have to find a place to plant them all!
