Patience....

 "Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience..."
                                                                            -Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Patience. The greenhouse is full of flats.Patiently waiting to be planted.

 Clematis pods  exploding. Waiting for the blooms.

  Peace flower  unfolds, day after day. 

 Bleeding heart droops in the air.

 Patience. Spencer-the neighbour's-cat, sits on the fence . Tail twitching.

 A tray of broken marigolds. At half price. Seem to miraculously mend themselves in their flat. Patiently hoping they won't get squashed again.

While the Smoke Bush puffs away on pollen.

 "Wait. Be patient. The storms will pass. Spring will come..."
                                                                   -Robert Schuller

 Cordelia-from-the-hill shows like a frothy ghost against the plum tree.

 Blossoms  fall. Consistently.

 Light changes. Sun moves from here to there and back again.

 Centaurea. Waits to bloom. Pops out of the compost. Like some sort of horror flick. Only there's no horror. 

 "Patience is not simply the ability to wait, it's how we behave while we're waiting..." -Joyce Meyer

 Cobra ferns twist and turn. Waiting for the weather to change. For rains to come.

 And so  skies change. And everything waits . Waits for the next day. And the next.

 And Spencer.Who has a great deal of patience.... snoozes on the porch. In the Dusk. 

                "Have patience with all things......" -St. Francis de Sales
