I'm a middle-aged Christian musician who thinks the two Great Commandments, the Golden Rule, and the Great Commission pretty much cover how human beings ought to live together with God and one another.
BLAME not my Lute! for he must sound
Of this or that as liketh me;
For lack of wit the Lute is bound
To give such tunes as pleaseth me;
Though my songs be somewhat strange,
And speak such words as touch thy change,
Blame not my Lute!
Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503-1542)
So glad you've all visited! 1-4 Grace, since the western Northwest is so predominantly evergreen, there's not so much fall color there, either; that's one reason the Japanese Garden is so wonderful that time of year. P.S., if you mean how they get so much color, they use plants that will give a variety of color through the year, and though the varieties are mainly those that grow in Japan, the climate is quite similar there. So the exotic maples are still maples, for example, so they turn that gorgeous color. And like gardens in Japan, this one is meticulously tended and trained. We used to have a lacy-leaf maple in our front yard, and I remember all the careful pruning it took for it to take the preferred umbrella shape. Quite a science to it, as well as considerable art.
