Spring at The Tiny Ten
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads~Henry David Thoreau
I have always loved this quote. It seems an especially good quote for people who love to take pictures. And it works well for people that love the outdoors. And so this quote finds a place in this post. It is also in tiny type at the footer of my blog. And that is all for this Sunday as we batten down in growing darkness for storms heading our way. Stay safe everyBODY in rumbly windy places today!
What a lovely photo and quote! I pray you stay safe!

Thanks Linda! It isn’t looking quite as scary as it was when we took everything in the garage that could blow away. But it is moving towards us…..we have a safe room in the basement

Wow, that is a gorgeous colourful view. What is the Tiny Ten? I hope that you and The Oaks are safe during the storms.
April 15, 2012 at 10:53 am
The Tiny Ten is what I call where we live. Our Tiny Ten acres
Most everyone around us has quite a few acres of land, 80 or more. We have a safe room in the basement for storms. We will stay safe!

Pix, thinking of you and Country Husband, please stay safe. Your “tiny ten” is a little bit of heaven on earth. Greetings from all of us at Dog Trot Farm, Julie.
April 15, 2012 at 10:59 am
Thanks Julie! We will be fine, we have our basement and they sure have let us know waaaaaay ahead of time. I worry about all those bird’s nest we have been watching out there. Poor little guys. And baby squirrels too. Dang. But I do get a little skeered
April 15, 2012 at 11:09 am
holy smokes, that’s gorgeous!!!
April 15, 2012 at 11:10 am
Thanks Tex! I love my gardening Country Husband
April 15, 2012 at 11:12 am
Wow! That is Gorgeous!!!!! The dogwoods, oh my. Heaven really is under your feet and over your heads. Y’all stay safe, we have storms today too.
April 15, 2012 at 11:10 am
Deb be safe! All your crew!! It is dark here at 11:15. It has been storming for three days here. I am ready for it to move on!
April 15, 2012 at 11:16 am
So Beautiful girl!! I’m thinking of you as always. Stay safe on that tiny ten!!! Hugs to all, including Suds.
April 15, 2012 at 12:14 pm
Thanks Evis. Suds is in the basement!

Beautious! And I’ll bet the Bluebirds all vy for the house each spring. We’ve been lucky so far down this way the past few days. The storms have missed us and I’m hoping by the time the front gets here later today, it will have lost its bluster. Stay safe in your neck of the woods!
April 15, 2012 at 12:58 pm
Thank you on the Beautious
The Bluebirds have 8 other houses to decide on and we are all filled up! Glad you have been lucky down your way. It tried very hard to do something here but just lots and lots of rain and I think we are done with the worst of it. Hope all is well for you.
April 15, 2012 at 6:37 pm
That looks like a postcard, not where somebody actually gets to live. Lucky you!
April 15, 2012 at 1:47 pm
Believe me, I thank my lucky stars every night. Would asking to go to ITALY be asking too much? You lucky too
April 15, 2012 at 6:43 pm
Oh, Pix, what a lovely photo AND the perfect quote. Please stay safe, and let us hear from you when you can. Wish I could send you this gorgeous weather we’re having today. Take care, my friend!
April 15, 2012 at 2:09 pm
All is good here. It huffed and puffed and it pooped out thank heavens! I would have taken a teeny bit of your gorgeous weather today Dianna, lots of rain and flooding. But we are good! I hear a little thunder~geeesh!
April 15, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Stunning picture, Pix. The colours are so vibrant.
Your page seems very dark. Is that due to the stormy weather. I hope it blows on by you and doesn’t do any harm.
April 15, 2012 at 3:21 pm
Isobel I changed themes to Modularity Lite and it is DARK and GRUNGY
No harm here, just a couple of extra ponds that we hadn’t wanted! We think it is over. We hope.
April 15, 2012 at 6:32 pm
Good to hear it passed you without mishap.
April 17, 2012 at 9:58 am
And we have SUN today and Mr. Tanager has arrived!
April 17, 2012 at 10:08 am
Beautiful picture. Please be safe. I did a little something for ya on my blog!
April 15, 2012 at 3:35 pm
I must come check!
April 15, 2012 at 6:45 pm
Beeutiful capture Pix! You stay safe you hear? Stay out from under the oaks!
April 15, 2012 at 7:37 pm
Safe and alls clear with the sun FINALLY returning this morning! Welcome Home!
April 16, 2012 at 7:28 am
Oh, how beautiful! I want to be there! Love the quote, too.
April 15, 2012 at 8:35 pm
It is all sunny here this morning! I think I will get to go outside and play
Good Morning to you!
April 16, 2012 at 7:29 am
Oh Pix what a GORGEOUS pond/garden/woods view! I imagine you have a lot of wonderful little spots like this on The Tiny Ten. I never get tired of landscapes…..Mother Nature knows how to paint a beautiful picture doesn’t she? Hope you all didn’t have to stay in your “safe spot” for long and that the storms passed you by quickly.
Pam (and Sammy)
April 16, 2012 at 7:00 am
Mother Nature definitely knows how to do it right! She was good to us yesterday too. The bad weather tried to huff and puff but it just pooped out~thank heavens! Pam the pond isn’t ours but the garden and woods are and Country Husband spends lots of time planting and moving, planting and moving, planting and moving……….
April 16, 2012 at 7:24 am
Such a gorgeous capture Pix! Love the Henry David Thoreau quote, “Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads”. The Tiny Ten sure looks like heaven to me!
April 16, 2012 at 9:53 am
Thanks Theresa! I love the Tiny Ten, now if I just had a beach here
I have loved that quote for years now since I did a search for quotes about photography.
April 17, 2012 at 5:39 am
Gorgeous photo, Pix. Glad you battened down “the hatches” and survived the storm.
April 16, 2012 at 10:51 am
Yes the “hatches” were battened down and we came out with just a few tree limbs to pick up. Nothing unusual!
April 17, 2012 at 5:40 am
I love your beautiful photo, Pix! I could sit outside and gaze at that gorgeous scene for hours! The quote is a perfect fit!
Hope you got through the storms okay. We had lots of rain here, too much really…we don’t need anymore for a while! While in Branson, we had pretty good weather even though they called for rain nearly every day. I’d say after being in the ‘red zone’ weatherwise here in Missouri, we came out okay. The sun sure looks great today!
April 16, 2012 at 11:41 am
I am so happy you had a wonderful Spring vacation in Branson. I think we are going to get more rain whether we want it or not. Not right now would be my choice!
April 17, 2012 at 5:42 am
Now this is a post I find kind of hard to click away from. I could stare at that picture and ponder on that quote for some time.
April 17, 2012 at 10:40 am
Thank you so much Tita!
April 18, 2012 at 6:01 am
Oh what a sweet slice of heaven you have. It looks like a great place to kick back, relax and enjoy the finery of Mother Nautre.
April 17, 2012 at 12:43 pm
Mother Nature is at work on the Tiny Ten! We do kick back and relax. Well, I relax and CH gardens!
April 18, 2012 at 5:47 am
the photo and quote go hand in hand! perfect!!!!
April 17, 2012 at 2:39 pm
Good Morning Deanna! I really love the quote.
April 18, 2012 at 5:48 am
This is so pretty! It looks like the perfect spot for a picnic in the summer!
April 18, 2012 at 10:34 am
I never thought about a picnic there! Probably because of the BUGS!!!!
April 19, 2012 at 7:50 am
Wow, wow!
I just wanna jump into my screen to go there, I wish I could do that. Hehehe 
Beautiful photo Pix, just too good.
April 19, 2012 at 2:11 am
Thank you Nandini!
April 19, 2012 at 7:48 am
What a beautiful photo. It made me think of another quote, which I don’t remember accurately, but basically it says: water brings a little bit of heaven into the garden. Very true in your picture, Pix.
Have so much trouble commenting again these days, that I have resorted to opening a WordPress blog PURELY so I can comment (I don’t blog on it, and anyone who goes there – hopefully! – gets redirected to me!)

Hi Lorely! Thank you on the photo. I know Blogger people have given up commenting on my blog. Makes me sad that they have to jump thru hoops. That is why I left Blogger because they were having so many comment issues and other issues as well. Now Blogger has itself together and WordPress is all goofed up. My hearthasn’t been in blogging lately. Too much to do in our real life and the weather makes me want to be outside and away from the computer. My Hubby was wanting me away from the computer and in the sunshine! Me too
Thank you for stopping by!
