It is another beautiful day in Atlanta, and I am overwhelmed by all nature has to offer! Spring has a hold on me so much that this year Neal and I purchased membership to the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
30 acres on floral diversity that cannot all be seen in just one day. Don’t believe me? On this same day we wanted to see the incredible “Orchid Daze” the featured attraction. Check out that post!
On our current jaunt into Mother Nature’s bosom I found myself whimsically singing to the tune of “Tip toe thru the tulips with me“. A little diddy by Tiny Tim, 1968, that somehow surfaced from my childhood repressed memories. Memories of SCI-FI, the song is sung by Dr. Smith and again by the Robot in the “Lost in Space Season 2, episode 5, The Space Circus”
.
Why? Well everywhere you looked, everywhere you walked, everywhere… the garden was prolific with tulips of many colors! Dazzled and enthralled I soaked up the goodness set before me knowing the season was just right for being open to universal joy flooding my eyes, my soul, my spirit.
Come. Come. Come… tip toe and sing along with me!
Tiptoe through the window
By the window, that is where I’ll be
Come tiptoe through the tulips with me
Oh, tiptoe from the garden
By the garden of the willow tree
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
Knee deep in flowers we’ll stray
We’ll keep the showers away
. And if I kiss you in the garden, in the moonlight
Will you pardon me?
And tiptoe through the tulips with me
Maybe it’s flowers you stray will be the showers of life
And when I kiss you in the garden in the moonlight
Will you pardon me and tiptoe through the tulips with me? Tiny Tim
Rejoice and be glad! We celebrate in our homes, our hearts and yes online! Some churches have reopened but not ours.
For many today, Easter would have been celebrated in their churches, with their families and in their homes. Such a wonderful opportunity to show love and care for those around us! Bonnets and Spring colors, Easter cantatas and the Hallelujah chorus and wonderful family photos!
We can still share our excitement and joy with the world! Enjoy these moments from our Easter past! Call someone! Skype and Facetime the grandchildren. Live today because He lives in you!
Saturday April 3, 2021, Pre-Easter Church walkthrough and presenting flowers for the living cross. First time in a year to back in the church sanctuary, COVID protocols were in place.
“Easter is a time to rejoice, be thankful, be assured that all is forgiven, so life extends beyond the soil of the earth.”
