Daydreams and Pretty Things.....

Once again, Mother Nature has surprised us by covering the earth in a soft, six inch blanket of snow in the night... it continues as I write... I must admit it does look beautiful gracefully falling to the already white ground... my gardens were just awakening to the warmth of the sun last week... they are confused now... their tiny little shoots of green shivering... wondering if they awoke too soon?... my plans of spending the day in my garden are now waylayed... I am so anxious to get my fingers in the cool, moist soil once more as I clean up winter's debris of broken branches and leaves blown in by our furious east winds of a month or so ago... to me these things are a labor of love... the winter has seemed extra long this year... I am hoping for an early Spring... I thought surely starting my Spring housecleaning would bring warmer, sunnier days... but inside, it DOES look like Spring!...

For each and every room in our home has beautiful flowers... many are silk... they look so real, you can almost smell their Heavenly scent... soon, real blooms from my gardens will fill the vases... I tell myself it will not be too awfully long now until I am carrying in my little garden trug full of fresh~cut lilacs and roses... I let my thoughts drift off like a soft gentle Spring breeze... I glance out once more at the falling snow...

Perhaps a nice hot cup of chamomile tea in my new teacup and a day spent pouring over my garden books will be a perfect way to while away a snowy day... as my thoughts turn to Spring...

What do you think Tess?...

She seems to agree... so we will be daydreaming today... sending happy thoughts and beautiful daydreams your way too... xoxo
