Lately I've been thinking a lot about how long this winter has pushed on... some days it feels like it will never end. Winter for me has just been one long reoccurring daydream of the arrival of Spring.



I love going on local home garden tours to get inspired by looking at what other people have taken years to create. I'm really looking forward to a few I've read about that they hold here on the northern coast of Oregon, and the Portland home & garden show.

I always take along my camera, and do my best to capture the things that get my heart racing (you can see a few more here in my creative gardening album on flickr).

This photo with the urns was taken in a neighbors yard that was on a garden tour a few years ago. I never get tired of pulling this image back up and staring at it. I love the way she paid such careful attention to height of her plants together with the shapes of her ornaments. There was this amazing level of sophistication that exuded from the garden rooms she created. You can visit her garden through one of my old live journal posts here. I've probably mentioned it here before, it's one of my all time favorites.

Susie's recent flickr photos of her trip to France have been appeasing my craving to see gardens in bloom this week too. Gazing at village gardens and seaside cottages, secret romantic courtyards, and daydreaming about visiting Monet's home in Giverny someday. Oh, Europe you call to me!

And well... this is how I got a tiny gardening fix in this weekend despite cold fingers and rain.
