ABC Wednesday: I'm Dreaming

Today I am dreaming . . .

Of sunny, blue skies . . .

. . . Not of snowdrifts with mysterious tracks . . .

. . . Not even of moonlit desert evenings . . .

. . . But dreaming of a new day, the dawn of a new gardening season.

Of springtime with the daffodils dancing in the breeze . . .

Of daylilies set against green, green grass and trees . . .

Of cheery daisies smiling at the sun . . .

Of digitalis sprinkled with fairy dust . . .

Of surprise daylilies bursting into hues of burnt orange . . .

Or fuschia . . .

Or lavender.

I could dream, too, of delphiniums, dahlias, or dianthus (if I had the photos!),

but instead I'm dreaming of lazy summer days . . .

. . . when the dragonflies flit about my garden.

It has been easy to dream of spring and summer the last few days as warm temperatures--peaking in the 60's yesterday-- have melted all the snow. The garden has been far too muddy to work in, however, and cooler temperatures are coming once again with the possibility of snow later in the week. But I know that in a few short weeks all these dreams will become a reality.
