Author Description

In this collection of anecdotes about the beauty of Mother Nature, a religious sister and gardener marvels at the animals, plants and seasons around her, highlighting God’s handiwork and the precious nature of the planet. A series of short musings encourages appreciation of the natural world, from tiny seedlings to grandiose evergreens, from small blackbirds to large alligators. We experience amazement along with the author, as she works and relaxes on the grounds of her community’s retreat center and feels wonder at the summer sun, winter snow, spring blossoms and autumn leaves. This uplifting, easy-to-read volume offers daily meditation on the gifts of the earth and what we can do to preserve and care for it.
