RESSURECTION FERN IN THE OLD OAK TREE
This is one of the two oak trees that are side-by-side behind my circle garden.
I call them the Twins, and yes they truly are massive.
The greenery growing up the tree is called Resurrection Fern and it is called this because when there isn't any rain it actually looks dead but as soon as we get rain it comes alive again.
Yes these are the bases of the twins. They may not look that big around but I suspect it would take at least four or five people to join hands to encompass them.
A great place to sit back, relax and enjoy the sunrise, sunset, oh heck it's very relaxing and soothing to be outside by the twins any time of the day.
The thankful heart....will find, in every hour,
some heavenly blessings.
Henry Ward Beecher
I believe that if we watch nature and notice all the little miracles that are occuring in nature moment by moment, day by day, etc. we can learn a lot about our ownselves and perhaps put some of what we see in nature into our own lives. Lfe is the greatest gift of all and during my 8 hour brain surgery I was told that all we have to do is enjoy our time here on earth. To be joyous and thankful for this gift. We can't know the time or the hour of our death so we must be brave and just keep moving forward from one moment to the next because without this moment now we can not arrive in the next moment. I believe that ressurection fern has a lot to teach us. Without water (sustance) it appears to die but it is not dead it is only waiting to be nourished and nourishment always seems to come at the right time to turn it into a green healthy fern. I believe we are that way too. It may not be time for us to physically die but we can be spiritually dead if we aren't getting spiritual food or if we aren't aware of how spirit works in our lives. We were to put God first and everything else second. It is said that God is our provider of both physical and spiritual food, and I believe that it's all about God, every single thing in this world is God including us to some extent. But I'll not go on and on here because I am having a hard time keeping my eyes open which means it's time for bed.

We are all God's creation. So there is a finger print of God on everything. A hint of the Creator. I think that is why we can feel so close, near God in nature. Jim Reeves had a song called "My Cathedral". It was outdoors. Beautiful song. - Barbara

I did not know it was called a Resurrection fern nor had I noticed it's browning and greening again with rain. I have those growing here too and I will have to take notice! I always learn something wonderful from you. Thanks! Love, Shelly
