The forecast always calls for sunny skies when a friend is near! And the best friendships are like the best gardens - cultivated with love, caring, patience, and a generous dose of laughter. Good friends prune our weaknesses and bring out our brightest blossoms. Lori Siebert's whimsical garden art provides the perfect backdrop to a collection of classic quotes and favorite verses. From New Friends (We hope that under our care, our gardens will grow strong and produce well. New friends need the same care) to Two's Company (Roses and garlic are great companions in the garden. Planted together, the garlic acts as a foil for pesky aphids and other pests, and the roses are then free to grow and bloom profusely) to I'm There for You (Flowers help us speak and listen to the language of the heart), these thoughts and musings ring as true as the beauty of lasting companionship. This is a perfect gift for a best friend, a beloved mentor, a cherished sister, or a dear mother or grandmother. Friendship is the flower that is always in bloom.
