“If winter starts to feel dreary, it helps to remind ourselves that spring is on the way. Keep a pretty notebook where you can jot down all the lovely ideas that pop into your head during the day (or in the wee hours of the night). Whether the possibilities are destined for next season or next year, it is inspiring to keep track of what you love!” — an excerpt from the winter section of my book A Lovely Life
Although much of our attention at the moment is on the interior remodel and addition, it’s been uplifting to begin dreaming about spring gardens. The thought of flowers, butterflies, and birds returning always brightens my mood.
I miss my old garden dearly, and I’m saving up lots of ideas to use once our projects are finished. This week I found some charming garden decor online and collected several favorites in my Amazon shop, which inspired today’s mood board.
Years ago we had a small wooden bridge over a rock river bed in one of our backyards, and it remains one of my favorite memories. It was a tiny yard but so full of character—my children still talk about it.
Our current backyard is small too, but I wonder if a little bridge could fit. It would add charm and evoke those happy memories.
What are you most looking forward to this spring? Do you have a garden?
