For the beauty of the earth

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies;
For the love which from our birth,
Over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise.

For the wonder of each hour
,Of the day and of the night;
Hill and vale and tree and flow'r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise.

Spring in the garden

We are doing some landscaping work around the chateau, repairing boarders, enlarging gardens, planting lots of perenial and ground cover. It's been lots of work but it's looking great!

Nadia, Jay and Debbie's cat has been doing her part as the acting garden statue.
