That Time of Year...

So

it's that time again,

that time to wish Spring were here.
Flipping through gardening books or magazines.
Looking at websites that sell seeds or plants.
Going to the nurseries that are starting to open to the public
and stroll around for ideas.
Anxious.

To want to dig in the dirt.

To enjoy being outside in the warm sun.

To watch those Spring Flowers push through.

Sadly, this will be my first Spring when I will not be

able to see my hard work pay off.

Will not see my Spring flowers push through the ground.

Someone else will be enjoying that, well, I hope they will.

(this is my favorite Spring flower that bloomed at our home, we have the seeds packed away for my next garden)

So,

we plan on buying another home,

in fact, we have one in mind, but are waiting, waiting,

waiting, and waiting to hear back.

In the meantime,

this house is a blank slate.

The last owners didn't bother to garden.

It will allow me to dream up some plans, to learn

from my mistakes.

I have all kinds of ideas, of course, assuming we may get this house.

(one of several rose bushes we had)

I was checking out some different Cottage Gardens online for inspiration and found some beautiful ones out there.

(Google search)

I'd like to make an entry to the garden like this, an arch with

Wisteria growing over it,

and when you enter, I'd like to have cutting flowers, a vegetable garden and some roses.

Lots of work, fertilizing, tilling, and planting to do, but I enjoy that.

So more Google searching I will be doing, and saving

pictures for inspiration.

Spring is around the corner, if we get this house, I won't get to do any of this until next year, but that's OK, I can be ready

when that time comes.
