teeny tiny miracles

Do you believe in miracles? Not just the magnificent kind that one would clearly recognize...but the teeny tiny every day ones that are right within our sight and reach...though requiring one's faithful heart to see....
A Wisteria vine is one I have desired for many moons...though I had resigned to having her join my garden...as she has needs my garden cannot meet...

But to my surprise there she was...a Wisteria within my reach just beyond my neighbor's garden.

My heart skipped a beat as I touched its delicate petals and admired its elegant form. I could not resist clipping just a few to admire its beauty a bit more closely.

And I must say...she is indeed even more lovely up close than I had ever imagined.
A teeny tiny miracle in the midst of my everyday life.

Here's wishing you too discover an unexpected miracle just beyond....

xo,

Abby

P.S. like many of you ....blogger is causing quite the mess. I am desperate to comment on blogs but can't. So please know I am visiting and wanting to comment but just can't:)

Dear Abby,
I too am in love with Wisteria, have a tree that I thought was in just the right spot in my garden....waited for years to find just a single bloom....finally it happened and the darn things bloomed alright all the way at the tippy top so no one could see and all on my neighbors side...so figure....this year I was lucky to find a small cluster tucked under some branches and I to had to have it and admire how beautiful they really are.....have a great weekend...

Ella said...

Nature's promise provided you with unexpected joy~ Truly lovely~
Happy you were able to enJOY this gift!

Teri said...

Abby, I do believe in tiny miracles as well, and your wisteria clipping is just as beautiful as the pictures you took of it! I however, have battled my wisteria vine for the past few years! As much as I loved it, it actually took over too much of the yard and we needed to get rid of it. A very sad thing, but it was almost evil in the yard!!!! But oh, the flowers it produced... sigh...
Hugs,
Teri

LOL I got my Wisteria from my neighbor as well...some people consider it a pest because it is very invasive but I LOVE it.
Also, try doing a right click and open in new window to comment. I've had to do that on a number of blogs.

Oh boy....I need to stop looking at all of the flowers on everyone's blogs, as here in Miami it's so hot now that all of ours are gone for the season! These are beautiful and well done Abby. Just became a follower....xo, Janet

Audrey Pettit said...

Such beautiful photos! The wisteria is so lovely, isn't it? Where I live, it grows abundantly in the wild, climbing way up to the tippy-top of trees everywhere you look. It becomes a giant blanket that covers the world for a few short days. Always blooms just in time for my daughter's birthday. I've told her they bloom just for her, and that's our tiny miracle each year.

How lucky you are to have a neighbor that will share with you. My garden lacks the means of wisteria also. But, thanks for showing us this wonderful beauty!
