My life is to make everything around me beautiful.

In the Garden of Earthly Delights.......

About this time of year we're all wishing for some greenery, flowers and warm breezes. At least that's how it is here in Idaho, so I thought I'd share a couple of pictures of some beautiful gardens.

Just imagine walking with a loved one beneath this allèe..........

Or sitting in this beautiful garden of roses in a sunny part of France..........

Or meandering down this azalea strewn path with a child and showing him or her the delights of a "secret place"..........

Or picking the sunflowers growing on the side of this old weathered barn..........

Or leisurely floating in a row boat on this beautiful lake..........

Or playing hide-and-seek with your hubby or sweetheart in this park..........

Or passing a few private moments on this old park bench while gazing at those lovely pink rhododendrons..........

Or watching birds flitter about in this bird bath while listening to the tinkle of water while maybe even floating a tiny boat in it..........

Or walking down this pansy strewn path in the shade of the trees with hostas growing underneath them..........

Or glimpsing these beautiful pink, red, purple, orange and yellow majestic tulips..........

Or lying on the bench while dreaming of lovely anemones just within your reach..........

Or climbing these lichen or moss covered stone steps to a secret place known only to you and a loved one..........

Yes, just sit and dream of the new awakening of the earth during these winter months. Ahhhhh, the anticipation. It enlightens my soul!
