GC&T on Saturday

So we'll be gathering for a sure sign of impending spring -- Garden Catalogs & Tea (yes, that's GC&T). How lovely it sounds. I'm so happy that my mailbox still fills up with these beautiful colorful dreambooks. Buying online is only for the busy summer season when time spent indoors is spent getting things done as quickly as you can so you can get back outdoors to the yard. Winter is the time for browsing catalogs. And tea.

There is peace in flowers

My garden. There's no place like it. I'm surrounded by life and beauty and busy-ness and totally ignored and accepted by it all. A peaceful world away from all the fuss and bother of my other life.

I'll write my garden world here, my indoor haven and outdoor expanse. The place where I can be totally myself without any doubt. I can be the quiet, reflective person I am without judgement. I can just be and accept myself as I am.

My garden. My paradise.
