Free online jigsaw puzzle for adults and kids of colorful spring flowers in various containers on a table. The flowers include tulips, snowdrops and narcissus blooms.
So pretty - when I moved to my house there were some bulbs called autumn crocus in the garden. They multiply very quickly and make a lovely display of white flowers in the autumn (fall). As we are in that season now, they are all in bloom.
"Flowers don't bloom where no seeds have been planted. If you want kindness, be kind. If you want acceptance, be accepting. If you want encouragement, be encouraging. If you want forgiveness, be forgiving. If you want love, be loving. If you want respect, be respectful. We should not expect from others what we fail to give to them." Tom Krause
What Krauss says is helpful but if you know St. Francis you know he found it not to be so but also felt this a blessing--
O, master grant that I may never seek, so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love with all my soul.
God has certainly blessed any who can manage that! Not me, but I sometimes have the courage to try.

Love both quotes, aussie's and pixi's. In any event, treat others better than you would like to be treated.

Thanks nlb. By being the giver it puts you in control, and by expecting nothing in return it preserves you from disappointment and purifies your reason for giving. St. Francis was no dummy.

He certainly is, and not just for the crocus :) There is another one I am looking for which is white with purple veins in it. The thing I like about this particular bulb is that the greenery stays green all year round and doesn't die down, so you don't lose the bulb. Had a bit of a laugh recently when I thought I had found a whole lot of the bulbs and replanted them only to find that I now have a wonderful crop of nut grass!!!!! God also has a sense of humour. LOL and hugs to you fiestyolelady.

Good night and God bless. Hugs.
