Recently I took the short drive over to Janesville's Rotary Botanical Gardens. I like visiting early in the season before there are many visitors. It's quiet then, and I like to sit in the Japanese garden and simply listen to the birds. The beautiful thing about this part of the garden is that it doesn't depend on much by way of flowers, although some azaleas were in bloom. Water, rocks, moss, and some neutral colored pots and sculptures makes this part of the garden peaceful.
Peaceful is good.
It's all I have to bring today --
This, and my heart beside--
This, and my heart, and all the fields--
And all the meadows wide--
Be sure you count--should I forget
Some one the sum could tell--
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the clover dwell.
Emily Dickinson
