Every year when the weather warms up I head outdoors to work alongside my guardian…I mean, garden angels. For years my angel collection was an indoor affair. Then I found a stone angel at a garden shop. She was so delicately carved with outstretched wings.
Why not bring divine protection outside too? I thought, plucking her off the shelf.
Not long after, while visiting a friend and former teaching colleague, I was blessed with a surprise gift. “I saw this and thought of you,” my friend said, handing me a box. Inside was a little girl angel, peering over the top of a book. Now she peeks out from my plants, reminding me how much I love teaching.
My next angel was for my Chihuahua, Louie. “Lou’s got a new pal,” I announced when I brought it home.
“Another dog?” my husband, Gordon, said. Louie was great but we couldn’t handle two of him. Gordon grinned and shook his head as I pulled out a stone puppy with angel wings.
And the cornerstone of the garden is a round plate of cherubs kissing—a rendition of Raphael’s angels. To me it represents the joy of companions—both angelic and earthly—who make each day a little brighter. Indoors or out, angels are always around us.
