Just about this time of year, when the outside is still a frigid glacier, and there's not a bird in sight, dreams of spring gardens come to mind.
I got an old-fashioned scrapbook (remember those?) at a thrift store and use it to happily glue my paper "dreams." It's my Dream Garden Scrapbook!
It's so much fun to clip tons of magazine pictures of how I would like our backyard to look. It's absolutely therapeutic to see an image, like it, and clip it with my handy little pair of scissors so it can go into the scrapbook.
It's enlightening to dream of brick pathways, statuary, rose-covered arbors, and little benches and garden chairs to sit on. Can you hear the birds singing their spring songs? Can you smell the flowers just blooming and hear the buzzing of the bees?
When the nice weather arrives, I'll be ready to start putting at least a few of the plans into action! Certainly not all of the garden delights in the scrapbook will come to reality but I'll be happy if even a couple come to fruition.
(Wouldn't you love to have a fence like this in front of your house? It was shown on a postcard purchased in Vermont.)
DO YOU KEEP A DREAM-COME-TRUE SCRAPBOOK OF ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE? IF NOT, WOULD YOU LIKE TO? WHAT WOULD YOU PASTE IN IT?
