Beautiful!!!

.... once upon a time came across an old abandoned garden. ... with a whole lot of gorgeous weeds. I would go there and look for the fairies or spirits who were tending it. I believe in spirits you see, very much so. If you believe in them, they appear to you. But you must believe. Like Tinkerbell.

It’s a beautiful world we live in, people. Charming....

Oh thank you for this! Five months ago, you posted ....?? Where have I been???

--- poison ivy "is an especially lovely plant"

I have done terrible, foolish things in my war against poison ivy.
Periwinkle, tiger lily, Dame's rocket, lily of the valley --
Oh forgive me, Mother Nature!

This!!

I can’t live without a bit of wild space of my very own.

You remind me of Mary Lennox in the best book of my childhood, THE SECRET GARDEN.

"Hazel in the toad refuge" - this is golden.

Thank you - I needed to get this new year off to a good start. :) You came through!
