Overview

"Pictorial Blooms, Blunders, and Blessings DO YOU WANT TO FEEL THE FRESH AIR, THE COOL GREENS, THE VIBRANT COLORS OF YOUR GARDEN AGAIN You created one of the most beautiful gardens on the block. Neighbors loved to gather in your garden, admire your accomplishments, talk about your 'green thumb.' But you knew, deep inside, that everything in your garden was a gift from God, the Creator of all the beauties on the earth. You felt His presence as you dug the moist fertile soil, admired the scent of the lily or the rose, harvested bountiful zucchini or lacy cilantro from your vegetable garden. That was a long time ago; things have changed; you can no longer cooperate with God as you encourage His beauties in your garden. Now you feel trapped, prisoner of a body or time schedule, no longer equal to the demands of a garden. You still admire the beauty as you look through the windows...or maybe you no longer have a garden, or a window to look through. WHAT IF YOU COULD ESCAPE THE LIMITATIONS OF YOUR BODY, your surroundings, or the office and regain the reverie you once enjoyed in the garden? WHAT IF YOU COULD FEEL THE COOL BREEZES CARESSING YOUR SKIN and ruffling your hair? What if you could HEAR THE SERANADE OF BIRD-SONG, or come upon deer-tracks among your flowers? OH! HOW YOU LONG TO BE IN THE GARDEN AGAIN!! What if I told you that you can EXPERIENCE IT ALL OVER AND OVER? PICTORIAL BLOOMS, BLUNDERS, and BLESSINGS WILL TAKE YOU TO THE GARDEN, LET YOU FEEL THE JOY of seeing that first robin hopping among your crocus, pecking at worms invisible to you or eyeing you from the neighbor's fence. It will let you FEEL AGAIN THE WONDER of standing beneath the luxuriant green leaves of a white Calla Lily reaching for the sky and FEEL THE ASTONISHMENT of seeing a broken tree miraculously healed. ""I even ENJOYED THE MOLES, because they liked the garden and weren't going to leave, no matter what,"" said Al. ""This story has so many neat things to think about, and definitely puts you in the garden."" Want to go back to the days when you experienced the smiles, rewards, inspiration, and the frustrations, too-when the deer ate the blooms before you had a chance to enjoy them. ""Blooms, Blunders, and Blessings changed the way I will look at a garden forever,"" said Al after reading this short book.. Brenda commented, ""Blooms, Blunders and Blessings"" is an enchanting read that leaves the garden visitor with a deep awe and reverence of creation, and just like the trees, our hands are compelled to lift in praise and admiration to the Creator who perfects our imperfections into what we call 'a garden."" You can experience all this, AND SMILE by reading BLOOMS, BLUNDERS, AND BLESSINGS. Don't you want to FEEL IT ALL AGAIN, the exuberance of a luxuriant garden? You may be saying, ""I've seen all this before. All garden books are alike, just a bunch of pictures and directions on how to plant things."" Well, you'd be wrong. This book stands out from the crowd like a princess in a group of peons. Unique in its inspiration. Unique in its size. Unique in its selection of stories and poems. Your first glance will bring a smile to your face. How can I know this is true? A reader called Doug V. said this. ""Marjorie Eldred is the Real Deal. I know her personally, and when she writes about her own life, if it's gardens or mishaps or Good News, she's lived it and tells the truth about it. "" BRING BACK THE PLEASURE YOU ONCE FELT IN CARING FOR YOUR GARDEN. Accept my invitation and act now to bring the joy of gardening back into your life.
