Keep Love in your heart

“Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.”

~ Oscar Wild ~

It's Friday...

This "Cat Tales" I have seen by a pond on a RV Park in Silver Springs, Florida

I really don't know the name for this beautiful flower. They reminds me to an Iris or to Glads. I'm sure there exist a right botanical name. Do you know it?

Hi my friends,

I'm overwhelmed with all your kind comments to my last post. You made my day! Thank you so much for that!

We are back at the Space Coast - Oh, my....I guess I told you that already yesterday...LOL... and guess what? We are planning to settle down somewhere here on the mainland or somewhere further out by the beach. We only have to find the RIGHT place to be.

Tomorrow we will start with driving around and "hunting" for that cute, clean, small and still affordable house in a secure, nice region of the Space Coast. If YOU know something like that, let us know.... PLEASE!

My email is: susanne2049(at)gmail.com.

Stay with me, I'll be still posting and update you with all the exciting news to come! But for first this: Happy Friday! :)

Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful;
they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.

Yellow like Sunshine...

Black eyed Susan

Twenty days walking so lonely and talking to myself and the rocks
And sand got me to thinking 'bout going and drinking in a tavern with a clean-shaven man

Just when i thought all souls had been bought by the devil here long ago
There did i see when i knelt to my knee i little texas flower grow

Black-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine
Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find

Well my newfound friend gave my heart a mend i sang her songs of my wayward ways
When day turned to night in the crystal moonlight i confirmed her unwavering gaze

As the days unraveled i stayed in the gravel and susan kept her eye on me
With my eye on her i felt my heart all astir with the joy of camaraderie

Black-eyed susan by the roadside blooming all yellow like sunshine
Red like wine flower like you in a desert this cruel my my you're a rare rare find

Let the Sunshine in.....

Mommy told me something
a little kid should know.
It's all about the devil
and I've learned to hate him so.
She said he causes trouble
when you let him in the room.
He will never ever leave you
if your heart is filled with gloom.

So let the sun shine in
face it with a grin.
Smilers never lose
and frowners never win.
So let the sun shine in
face it with a grin
Open up your heart and let the sun shine in.

Foxglove Flowers

Foxglove flowers have both positive and negative symbolic meanings. They are said to sometimes hurt and sometimes heal. In the language of flowers, foxglove flowers are associated with insincerity. On the positive side, the common name is said to come from "folk's gloves," with "folk" referring to helpful fairy folk. In medieval gardens dedicated to Mother Mary, foxglove was called "Our Lady's Gloves" or "Gloves of the Virgin."

The scientific name is digitalis, a reference to the presence of powerful chemicals that can heal heart conditions if taken correctly but can kill if taken in large amounts. Foxglove contains cardiac glycosides and was first used to treat heart ailments in 1785. Digitalis helps to regulate pulse rate.

An overdose of digitalis can cause anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and jaundiced vision or a halo effect. Digitalis has sometimes been abused as a weight loss aid due to the gastronomic side effects and resulting reduction of appetite. Digitalis was previously also used as a treatment for epilepsy and seizure disorders, but this is now considered inappropriate.

Foxglove thrives in soils that are rich in iron and coal. New coalfields can sometimes be located by finding masses of foxgloves growing together. Foxgloves are perennials that thrive in temperate zones and like shade, part shade and sun.

Foxgloves come in white, yellow, pink, rose, red, lavender and purple. Foxglove can be grown either through seeds or divisions of plant clumps. The plants range from 2-6' high depending on the variety.

Foxglove flowers look best in the back of a garden and bloom in a pyramid shape with the lowest blossoms opening first and the buds remaining closed at the top. Add some foxgloves to your garden this year to invite the fairy folk to take up residence in your yard!

People say, the queen of all flowers are the roses. I love roses, they are wonderful, majestic, they smell good - but much more I do love the orchids. I will bring more out of my orchid collection in another post.
