spring dreams...

i'm having dreams of spring!

~~~

yesterday i mentioned that we have

many winter days ahead of us.

~~~

today... i'm dreaming of spring!

a girl can dream, can't she?

~~~

even when i see my secret garden and bench buried in snow...

i know that when spring comes

there will be

bloodroot, lily of the valley, hosta, violets, columbine,

forget-me-nots, coral bells, grape hyacinth,

and more blooming here!

~~~

and here...

one of my most favorite and fragrant pale pink roses

will bloom.

~~~

and later...

the autumn joy sedum

whose dried heads are barely able to peek

thru the deep snow

will grow and bloom here,

along with a growing number of perennials.

~~~

these help me dream my spring dreams!

~~~

these

are my favorite garden seed catalogs.

~~~

i dream big garden dreams

as i peruse these catalogs.

and then finally,

and carefully, i choose the seeds

and then i

plan and plot

for colorful spring, summer, and autumn

flower shows

thruout the yard.
~~~

oh, to dream...

~~~

and as excited as i am

to plan, plot, and plant flowers,

i am even more excited...

for my bee block!

~~~

i love bees!

~~~

i want to make sure

they know they are most welcome

to come into my gardens,

to pollinate to their hearts' content,

and then to live safely nearby...

in their bee block.

~~~

gotta love a dreamer...

make it a dreamy day!
