Hi Limey,

 

That sounds like an excellent description of TDB!

Hi Mike,

 

You are probably here,

And I'm probably there.

The rest - probably everywhere.

So TDB - is probably nowhere?

 

Thank you for calling me Limey; it is a treat.

But let me assure you that I naturally sweet.

 

A lime-sweet weekend.

Hi Mike,

 

Apparently you know TDB well. Can I ask if compassion has been aired before at TDB? Why am I asking?

 

I tried to seed compassion at TDB per another thread - but the seed is not germinating responsively.

Just to let you know, one of the plants I put in the garden this year is a Sedum Limelight.

Good morning Dada,

 

Is this your type of Sedum Limelight?

 

 

 

What other plants do you have? Can name a few?

You have marble stones in your garden?

 

A good weekend.

This is a better example of my Sedum Limelight:

(Top row, third from left.)

 

The garden is basically separated into two sections.  The other side has Sedum Fine Leaf Gold as ground cover.  Both the Sedum are new this year so I have no idea how well they will do for me year-'round.

 

The garden:

 

Front along the sidewalk are Daylilies.

Driveway side has low growing Juniper.

Other side has generic Juniper.

Both side have Lantana.

Driveway side has Passion Vine, two other areas with a flower I forget its name, and an area of Moss Roses.

Other side has only a Moss Rose area in addition to the other stuff I mentioned.

 

The two Marble Gardens are in the back at the ponds.

Hi Dada,

 

I visiited your garden by seeking out your named flowers on Utube.

Beautiful garden.

 

Are American gardens similar to English gardens?

When I  was in your garden, I whistled thus:

 

 

 

You are lucky to have such a garden.

[Marblehead]

Mine isn't as large as a standard English Garden and there are a lot of stepping stones in mine so that I can easily attend to all the areas.  (That's the main reason for the new landscaping.)

 

I forgot to mention, there is also an area of a plant called "Irish Moss" although it really isn't a moss - I think it is part of the family of Sedum.

 

Also there is a hummingbird feeder, a regular bird feeder and a bird bath.  Those are along the walkway between the two areas.

Hi Dada,

 

When I am re-incarnated as a bird, I will stay in your garden. Can or not?

 

I will make sure that I will not become a crow.

 

What kind of bird do you like me to become?

[Marblehead]

A hummingbird would be nice.  I don't get as many of them as I would like seeing.

Male or female?

Just now, Limahong said:

 

Male or female?

Could you split and be both?  That way you could have babies.

Why not? A yingy-yangy hummingbird.

[Limahong]

Hi Dada,

 

 

Will sleep now. Had a long day.

Good night.

Ecclesiastes 3:

http://biblehub.com/kjv/ecclesiastes/3.htm

1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 14I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

16And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness wasthere; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 18I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 19For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 20All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 22Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

Ecclesiastes 3:

http://biblehub.com/kjv/ecclesiastes/3.htm

 

Hi Brian,

 

The following from Ecclesiastes 3 is simply great.  

 

Item 1 to 8 follow closely the above song from Byrds.

 

Items 9 to 22 are windfalls carried by the wings of heavenly birds.

 

1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 

 

10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. 

12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 

 

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 

 

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 

 

15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. 

16  And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness wasthere; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 

 

17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. 

 

18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. 

 

19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. 

 

20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 

 

21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 

 

22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? 

 

Fantastic stuff. Thank you.
