A Cottage Garden


~

Cottage gardens have always held a particular allure for me.  
They speak of an involved and dedicated owner who knows his plot of land intimately.
If you inspect closely, you'll see that the hand that holds the cup of tea has earth beneath its nails.
A truly charming garden intrigues the visitors and owner throughout all seasons.
Carefully placed benches and birdhouses invite you to sit and relax after you've toured the grounds.

Winter Memories



I woke up this morning to snow. Once again I am thankful for being a stay-at-home homeschool mom. The teens and I  shared memories of snow days from back in their younger years. It was always a special occasion that called for a break from studies.
