SPRING DAY DREAMING...









Every season
 has a day for dreaming, 
a day that fills 
your head and heart
 with endless 
possibilities...





...and in spring time 
it is a day where 
you see the first patch of green 
that is coming alive
 after a soft rainfall...






...a day that makes you 
want to hang a sign
 on your front door,
 telling the world 
that you have 
"Gone Fishing".






Sometimes 
a gentle breeze appears 
and brings glory 
to the front porch...





...or the sun shines
 in just the right spot
 to remind us that
 wishes do 
come true.






You might start a day 
such as this
 with a glass of sunshine,
 itself...






...before you take a trip
 down a country lane...





...to where
 the Farmer's Market
 has just opened up...





...and, returning home, 
where the aroma of roasting vegetables
 will mingle with 
the soft scent of
 sweet peas...






...along with
other bright colors 
that can lift the spirits
 and brighten the corners.






There might be the sound 
of bird song 
that makes you look up
 and take notice
 of the blue sky...





...or you might prefer
 sitting quietly,
 savoring
 a cup of tea,...





...while looking at an image
 from today 
that brings back
 memories of...






...a past yesterday 
in a similar
 time and place.


FYI:  The two pictures above are of mother and son, Tami and Jake, taken in the same driveway, loading up the same wheelbarrow (different dirt!) over 35 years apart.



A day for dreaming 
is a day to
 follow your heart...






...whether it takes you down
 a special path 
or..





...on
 flights of fancy...







...and at the end of that day,
 as the song says...

Dream On!



...Judy...


My heart felt thanks
 to Bernideen at BTTCG
 for featuring my last post. 

 I appreciate it
 more that you know,
 Bernideen.

between six and seven 
when every flower -
 roses, carnations,
 irises,lilacs -
 glows..."

  7. How beautiful your images and words are, Judy. You paint a word picture of home at a moment in time.
    Cute pictures of mother and son - too funny that it's the same wheelbarrow!

  13. I enjoyed your "day dreaming" post today, even if I am a little late visiting.
    The old wheelbarrow looks like one that my Dad had. It brings back lots of memories.
    Your flower pictures are lovely. I'll be so glad when mine start blooming in my garden.
    When I went out on my deck this morning, I heard a familiar bird sound.........my little wrens have come back for the summer. I love those little birds.
    We're having a cloudy, kind of damp day today. A good day for day dreaming.
    Have a lovely weekend.

  15. Love seeing all these pics-makes me even more anxious for spring than I am. Here in Colorado, we never know what our weather will be-one day it is in the 70's and then next we have rain and maybe snow.
    Have a great evening.
