A Morning of Delight

 "God Almighty first planted a garden. And indeed, it is the purest of human pleasures."

Francis Bacon

The other weekend I had a post pop up on my Facebook feed from the Gateway Lodge in Cook's Forest, just up the road from us. I'm not friends with them, but somehow, they were there.

The post was about a lady who brings them flowers for their customer rooms and dining room each week. Her name is Lynne from the Meadow and Twilight Flower Farm in Corsica, PA.

Corsica is just down the road, about 20 minutes from our place. I'd never heard of this flower farm but was intrigued. I looked it up and sent an email off to see if I could come by and take pictures of her garden.

Last Tuesday morning I went there and had a most delightful and joyful time! I'm thinking her garden is about an acre and a quarter in size and there were rows and rows of blooming flowers. Beautiful flowers. 

I took my time walking through, capturing the beauty I saw. When I finished, I had 289 pictures. Lynne talked with us for a time and cut a bouquet for us to bring home.

She told us about her dogs, one being a Newf, and asked us to go around to the front of her home and she'd bring him out. We both love Newfs, Jerry having raised one, and me being a friend with someone who had one. It was the cherry on top of the sundae as we petted and talked with a new friend.

Lynne has gatherings occasionally at the farm. People can come and pick their own bouquets, enjoy sitting in the swings and just relaxing in a beautiful place.

I managed to get through the pictures I took, keeping 92 to remember the day I walked with the bees and butterflies in God's creation. 

They specialize in a wide variety of pollinator friendly flowers that are perfect for bouquets. Their intent is to provide fresh cut blooms that reflect the season.

It was a beautiful morning for me. Strolling in a garden, delighting in the beauty and thanking God for His magnificent creation. I'm thankful God has given me the gift to take pictures and share His creation with others. He is masterful in His work!
