All Things Bright and Beautiful

~Cecil Frances Alexander

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.

The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning,
That brightens up the sky;

The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.

My dear Military Sister, USMC Sergeant Major mom, Nancy, informed me this was a Pee Gee Hydrangea that grows into a tree. THANK YOU Nancy...Kurt and I immediately googled and found out about them. Technical name - (latin) It’s real name is Hydrangea paniculata ‘Grandiflora’, paniculata meaning upright and tall, grandiflora meaning large flowered.

They certainly are lovely, and I am happy dancing to have it in my yard here. God's creation in the flora world is simply breathtaking and indescribable.

Have a lovely Sunday wherever you are and enjoy the lingering flowers of Summer and Fall before Old Man Winter blows in...

Hugs to all...
