Dream Into Spring

It’s been dreary, cold, and rainy, but for those of us who have shelter, heat, food, and electricity, we can be most grateful. Our hearts and prayers go out to those who are without those things at this time.

Our focus shifts to ways we can inject enchantment into these last few weeks of winter. One way is to dream, while awake. We’re in Pisces time and they're the masters of the dream. The time is ripe for all of us.

To that point, it’s the perfect time to dream and plan your spring/summer garden. Even if you’ve never gardened before, you might open yourself to the possibility. Curl up with a steamy mug of hot chocolate, wrap yourself in a warm blanket, or sit near a fire, and dream about what you’d like to grow. Is it an herb, vegetable or flower garden? Consider if you want to order seeds and start them inside.

Decide where you’d like to create your garden, whether in a raised bed, containers or a small plot of ground. Maybe you’d enjoy a garden area built around a special statue or one with garden art that you select as an ongoing scavenger hunt. You might do a spin-off of a fairy garden that features dinosaurs or other beloved figures. It could be a butterfly garden with plants that attract butterflies, mosaic butterfly stepping stones, and winged butterfly stakes, placed in between your parsley. You might paint rocks for a monochromatic garden where all of the elements are in various shades of the same color. 

Let yourself dream, play, and stay enchanted!
