Daydreaming of Spring

I know that if odour were visible, as colour is,
I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.

Robert Bridges

These days I am quite tired due to my pregnancy 

and I spend my days daydreaming about the spring.

I am longing to go out in the garden again 

and to feel the sun and earth on my face and hands.

I was looking at some old pictures of last summer 

and saw these photos of my mother in law's beautiful and inspiring garden.

She was picking a lovely bouquet of flowers that day 

and since that summer I am dreaming of a flower garden too.

So here I am on the couch this afternoon 

with a huge pile of library books about gardening,

and enough ideas and plans to fill 10 gardens!

And although it snows again overhere, 

in my mind the flowers are already growing.
