In The Garden

You know speaking of gardens as I am fond of doing, I planted the first of the peas today. Its a holiday! Yay! I love growing peas. 

Don't these egyptian glass perfume bottles look like they are a growing in a garden? We are going to make the trans from synthetic soap scents and perfumes and body items into botanics, but I do have a large supply of fragrance oils of my favorite girly scents that I am selling in the shop in the form of perfume oil.

I have a perfume oil that is the perfect match for these really well crafted bottles. (find here:) https://www.etsy.com/listing/265162594/perfume-bottle-perfume-oil-paris?ref=shop_home_active_2

but I must have gardening on the brain, because they look like little growing things that Alice would find on her trip through oz, or where ever she went wandering after she met the cat with the hooka...

bright and cheerful little pods, firmly rooted and bursting with life. 

these bottles are joyous, and they've brough to mind that old spiritual that Elvis sang back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, 'In the Garden'  

He was popular when I was a kid. Have you heard him since you've grown up? He had quite a timber.  here ya go for a listen:

I also like the way Alan Jackson sings it:

Sending garden dreams your way this day!

Kari Jobe - Be Still My Soul (In You I Rest) [Lyrics]

Be still my soul. 



The Lord is on thy side. 

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.

Leave

 to 

thy

 God

 to order 

and provide ...in every change He faithful will remain . 

Be still my soul!

 thy best thy heavenly Friend,

  through thorny ways leads 

to a joyful end. 

Be still my soul... thy God doth undertake 

to guide the future as He has the past . 

Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake.

All 

now mysterious, 

shall be bright at last. 

Be still my soul. The waves and wind still know 

His voice 

who ruled them 

while He dwelt below. 

In You I rest. 

In You I found my hope.

 In You I trust. 

You never let me go. 

I place my life within Your hands alone. 

Be still my soul. Be still my soul. 

The hour is hastening on 

when 

we shall be forever with the Lord. 

When disappointment grief and fear are gone. 

Sorrow forgot. Love's purest joys restored.

Be still my soul when change and tears are past...

all safe and blessed, we shall meet at last.

In Him I rest. 

In Him I found my hope. 

In Him I trust. 

He never lets me go. 

I place my life within His hands alone. 

Be still my soul.
