Wow! 25% of my happy day journey is finished! That just amazes me!
Happiness is a by-product. You cannot pursue it by itself.
It is true! Happiness is played out in the context of relationships. I am happy I got to go to Longwood Gardens yesterday with my son. This is Joe by the Chimes Tower Waterfall. As nice as it was to go with my son, he had to leave for work about half way through the day. I am very happy that even after he left I was not alone in the garden. My God was with me. He walked with me in the Garden and I was not alone!
He was my shade in the noon day sun.
And just when I was beginning to feel lonely, God sent this little fellow to sit beside me for about five minutes to sing his song.

There’s so much peace in nature. Glad you had a good time.
It was absolutely beautiful. I recommend Longwood highly!
Beautiful waterfall, Pastor J and you could not of asked for a better day to walk through the garden. I have to say that little fella looks quite content to pose for you it almost looks like you painted him. Nice!
If I had painted him he would not have looked at all like that! I have decided painting is really not my gift at least not yet. I am going to keep trying.
That is a great waterfall. Lovely place for a walk.
It sure is!
I’m so glad you got to go. Were the roses in bloom or has that passed?
The rose garden was in full bloom! The meadow was absolutely gorgeous and smelled so good. I even saw a deer run through the edge of the forest.
So jealous! lol..I’m very glad you had such a wonderful experience.
Thanks Dawn!
Perfect weather for a walk and one which came with bonuses, time spent with your son and a beautiful garden. Hope you enjoy the rest of your visit and have some time to re-charge.
It was awesome. My son however is something of a night-hawk. I think the earliet I got to bed all weekend was midnight.
I love longwood gardens – wonderful – so many fountains. so beautiful
It truly is. I try to visit every time I go down.
A waterfall is my favourite place – so peaceful! I don’t mind if I don’t see another beach, but mountains, bush and waterfalls – great!
And you noted the best part – the abiding presence of God.
Amen. The voice of God sounded as the rushing of many waters!
