The Nopestead

"A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust."

“Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.”

A few days ago we meticulously planted radishes and beets. What a suprise it was this morning to see the radishes pop up!

"In the garden of dreams, there are many great seeds of possibilities waiting to sprout - looking for your attention - the water and the light."

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.”

Garden is all cleaned up and prepped for fall planting, except for the basil which we kept for the bees!

"The hum of bees is the voice of the garden."

"Childhood is a magical place where foundations are set, dreams are born, wonder is ignited, love is kindled, and memories painted."

"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul."

“Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind.”
