I wander the paths, talk to my plants, lovingly touch them, and I feel them respond.<br /><br />Loved this so much,<br /><br />Sharon Lovejoy Writes from Sunflower House and a Little Green IslandSharon Lovejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321160956925191137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-28303149454291054192010-07-13T07:22:26.677-04:002010-07-13T07:22:26.677-04:00Good morning Friends ~ Glad this article was inter...Good morning Friends ~ Glad this article was interesting and even humorous to you.<br /><br />Cameron ~ I'm sure the plants enjoy that song, it's one of my favorites.<br /><br />Tina ~ I hadn't heard about the anesthetic either. :-)<br /><br />FG ~ I'm sure some soft music in my gardens would help soothe the plants traffic noise battered beings.<br /><br />Gina ~ God's whole creation is waiting in earnest expectation for the manifestation of the sons of God. I believe a part of God is in every thing he has created.<br /><br />Sandy ~ Growing and learning everyday is good for us.<br /><br />Gayle ~ I love the centers of passion flowers too. I need to get another picture of the really beautiful passion flowers that we have.<br /><br />E.Charlotte ~ Thanks. Did have a nice weekend.<br /><br />Susan ~ Whispering sweet words can't hurt. :-)<br /><br />Jane ~ I bet Sir J did talk to his plants.<br /><br />NanaK ~ Yes, talking sweeter to people in our lives would help too. That's harder to do than talking to plants though.<br /><br />Jenni ~ I saw your daylilies and they are beautiful. You are doing the right things with them.<br /><br />Rebecca ~ I agree about learning lessons. It seems like in almost any book one picks up to read, there's not only info but lessons to live by in them.<br /><br />Sunita ~ I think plants would shriek and shrivel from some of the rap that's out there these days. Glad you have a lovely 'sanctuary' for you to come home to also.<br /><br />Jerri ~ Too much of anything would make us cringe or be sick after awhile. Like you, I talk to plants, and critters and probably some inanimate objects as well. I am really happy about Fiona II.<br /><br />Rosey ~ Those sensitive plants are neat.<br /><br />Vetys ~ Some of this info was new to me too.<br /><br />Thanks again everyone for all of your kind comments.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-10320072868677729972010-07-12T23:23:54.493-04:002010-07-12T23:23:54.493-04:00I read and heard about talking to and singing to p...I read and heard about talking to and singing to plants. <br /><br />The others are new to me...

Interesting thoughts. I do talk to my gardens, but then again, I talk to everything, even inanimate objects. Husband thinks I am very weird.<br /> It does give one reason to pause and wonder, why a particular plant or bush thrives and another flops over in despair. Sorta like people I guess!<br /> Fiona II sends her sweet regards and wants you to know she is adjusting beautifully to her new life.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5353873250655389819.post-48102356465474693062010-07-12T05:11:17.181-04:002010-07-12T05:11:17.181-04:00I loved this post.

Right now my day lilies are blooms and the petals seem so soft and tender, I find myself petting them, coaxing them on.

Not that I disagree with a plant;s system going into shock from outside stimuli or neglect. I had heard the rock music story before.<br />I really liked the concept of us being transplanted , and it also mad me think of where in the Bible God likes to " cut off our branches so we will bear more fruit " to prune us. love your blog !!
