My neighbor has petunias growing in the wintertime I wonder how Mr. Quackenbush does it? no flowers in this garden of mine He lives all by himself and i never see him out so how did they grow? grow all by themselves Deep red, white and purple a carpet of loveliness i said..to my husband "would you look at that i cant believe he has petunias growing in the wintertime" He is the only neighbor on the street with flowers all in bloom I think i will ask him what did he do? I wonder if he did anything maybe a little prayer or two instead of a guardian angel God thought a garden angel would do "To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides." ~ David Viscott [This message has been edited by Victoria (01-14-2002 01:22 PM).] |

  YAY!!! Oh my gosh, that is amazing, I am impressed by how your neighbor can do that! (smiles) Oh my gosh, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I love petunias just as I love all kinds of flowers! (kiss on cheek) This poem is soooooo wonderful on multiple levels, both of the beauty and visions you create but also the message that prayers and a little love can make anything possible! I love it, sweet friend, we all love you so much, this is by far one of your best yet! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Victoria, thank you for sharing!   May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Hello Victoria I was drawn in by the title of your poem as I am an avid gardener and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Take care......Sue Suetang |

Hi Victoria! I love Petunias, anytime. I've been told that flowers do have spirits. And my wife really knows how to talk 'em into blooming, the way she gets me goin, lol.... So perhaps God does have guardian Angels for Petunias. Or maybe his guardian angel lives there. MMMmmm. Just a thought.

This one brings back some memories for me. My mom always used to plant petunias in the back yard. Brilliant purple ones. Very nice work, Victoria. All writing comes |
