i could walk in the garden forever

I just love wildflower bouquets! Mine was acquired from a midnight conquest in the community garden down the street. We inconspicuously crept through in the moonlight- following winding paths through thick foliage and passing through tiny wooden gates...snatching lavender and rosemary... plundering daisies, peonies and dahlias...exploding at my fingertips! and how it freshens my apartment with its smell and life! Thank you gardeners for growing these exquisite flowers.

Up Came The Sun


I was reading my book last night.....which is The Autobiography of Henry VIII and I read this line "Up came the sun. The countryside about us was fresh." and got an instant feeling- filled with smells and visuals - of dew on the grass and the sun just coming up on a summer morning and birds chirping and everything quiet but slowly waking up, everything green. I just found it interesting how a few words stuck together can create such a powerful image. Is that the trick to good writing? i don't know...

Anyway- its the biggest book i've ever attempted to read and though it is taking me months to read it i am really enjoying it. i love books!
