Day dreaming....

It's December, and it is COLD outside

and I have blankets on,

and am wearing sweaters

and slippers

and when I go outside I find myself donning scarfs, hats, mittens and a very warm coat

but I am dreaming today 

of warmer days to come

of ripe things

of berries

and blossoms...

and the farm in spring and summer..

I can NOT help but day dream at lunch time..

it's something I have done since my girl hood...

now I can do it and BLOG it out for you 

yah.. seriously

you know this will make some excellent day's treat

and maybe we can collect JUST enough to can some jam...

maybe

blissfully beautiful

there they are

those snow ball bushes

we will be moving them this spring to their NEW home :)

so exciting!

They are SO lovely!

Yummy apple tree!

I plan on planting MORE trees on the farm THIS spring..

perhaps Jonagold

some honey crisp

hmmm

I adore, simply ADORE hollyhocks,

and am THRILLED they live here at the farm

and I get to live here with them

oooooooo MY

psst... hiding

and simply thankful to have been found

really showing off is this phlox

isn't it a star!

tiger lilly

I love her

I don't think she's common AT all...

striking, and easy to get on with

another show stopper...

Bright 

cheerful

so glad to have this friend in our new garden!

oh MY

what a lovely little drama queen...

so nice to meet you

YES!

I love it here,

even though

it's cold today

and shall be covered all in a blanket of white for months to come...

I know THIS is preparing to bound up from beneath

and display it's beauty for me to enjoy once again

in spring

and in summer

SO exciting

the depth

the color

the range of just...

green

i SO enjoy it

purple in a garden

means happy for me

oh well..

grey skies won't last all year long.. 

blue skies

sunshine

& 

warmth

WILL 

return

and we will be ALL the more thrilled for it...

snuggling up with my blessings

and off to read a great book.

Today's book you wonder?

"Five Children and It" by Edith Nesbit

That is my read aloud for Today

then 

errands GALORE

Christmas is near DON'T you know?
