Spring Dreaming

It's January, and while there are good things about winter... I can't help but begin thinking spring. Now is when I get out magazines & my journal to jot down gardening ideas. New flowers to try here - another flowerbed there? What worked last year, what didn't...

Last year I took photos of my flowers for the first time. It's amazing how quickly blooms fade - so easy to take them for granted. I knew there'd come a bleak winter's day when I'd be thankful to see my garden in bloom: reminders of spring's promise. The return of golden sunshine and color.

That day is here, and yes, I'm thankful I stopped to take these...

Happy spring dreaming.
