a lingering season,
is a time to gather golden moments,
embark upon a sentimental journey,
and enjoy every idle hour."
As we sit in the middle of a deep freeze it is hard to remember warm summer days. If you are anything like me, you will have had enough of winter and long for warm summer days, cicadas piercing the night air with their summer song and the fragrance of flowers softly floating on a gentle breeze and the renewal of all of nature.
I for one have been thinking a lot about flowers and what I would like to add to my garden this year. I have been scanning magazine's making plans for the different areas of my garden.
I have also been searching the internet for garden furniture for my new patio and looking at simple water features that I might add.
"Nothing happens
unless first we
DREAM"
-C.Sandburg
Remember, it is never to early to start planning and it really does help to make these chilly, dreary days go by a little faster.
We have twenty, yes that is twenty days until spring arrives. Hard to believe I know but never the less it will soon be upon us and if we do a little planning we will be ready for when the cold gives way to warmer days and we can get our hands into the dirt.
So, I thought I would share with you some pictures taken of my garden over the past few years. I hope it will help inspire you, make you dream of sunny days to come, make you feel the warmth of spring and smell summers fragrant air.
