Description
The joy of gardening is manifold. I love the serendipity of change and growth, the juxtaposition of old and new. Title is inspired by Robert Herrick's 17th century poem, "Delight in Disorder":
A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness;
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction;
An erring lace, which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher;
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbons to flow confusedly;
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat;
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility;--
Do more bewitch me, than when art
Is too precise in every part.

Hello Rebecca! How lovely! It is hard to get the morning glory just right, but you have. I love the poem--I think you'll be needing to do a book soon. F/V Kirsten
