When I was a little girl, I would have done anything to have the powers of Elizabeth Montgomery’s character Samantha in Bewitched... With a twitch of my nose, my bed would be made, clothes put away and homework finished. I suspect I still have similar fantasies, although in a different way now... from my point of view, I’m surrounded by magic... My magic is that of growing things. Let’s say you wake up one day and the garden looks like this...
Summer has begun, and here in the house in the roses there is fairy dust on the warm air, and the verges hum in the delight of sunshine and good things. I have been joyfully living day and night in the garden, my hands and knees are permanently tainted with all the goodness of the earth, and my heart sings and rejoices in its Creator! What else can one ask for?
PS: I am extremely happy to announce that “The house in the roses” has been featured in "Gardener’s Voice”. I would like to extend my biggest gratitude to Don Grosvenor for having our little cottage garden and blog placed among “the best gardening blogs from around the web”. Truly an honor for us! And a huge thank you to YOU, my readers for coming back again and again and spend time with the fairies and sprites who help things grow around here . We love you all!

Connection with gardens, even small ones, even potted plants, can
become windows to the inner life. The simple act of stopping and
looking at the beauty around us can be prayer.
