In the spring of 2022 and 2023, our rhododendron did not bloom. This might sound crazy but did the plant know Jeff was sick and needed protecting?
I figured it was dead. Last summer I thought about digging it up, replacing it with something else. Yet I listened to the small nudge encouraging me to give the rhododendron another year. I’m so happy I listened.
Look at it now!
We have a healthy rhododendron. I smile at the beautiful blooms when I look out the window or pull into our driveway — gorgeous dark pink of unwavering faith. I’m in awe.
Jeff is returning to health too. His weight is restored. His energy and stamina are returning. He is mowing the lawn acknowledging the rhododendrons. The Divine is working…always working.

A quote to ponder
As each month brings record heat
Human greed continues…
“We worship an invisible G-d and slaughter a visible nature— without realizing that this nature we slaughter is the invisible G-d we worship”.
Science, I believe, understands what humans need to do to mitigate and reverse Climate Change. And there is still time. However, I fear that our inaction on many fronts, is not a scientific problem but a spiritual one. Will human greed win out and leave our descendants to suffer the consequences? It’s time for our religious leaders to take a stand and call for action. ♥️
Lol as I am reading Clark's post and feeling bad for Nature, a buzzing black and yellow bit of nature came right up to me. I said Hello! Please don't sting me! You belong outside...
