A Garden Tour

Today was the Symphony Guild's "Music in the Garden" garden tour.

The day was overcast and warm.As I am posting, it is raining! I would say we had good timing!

As we walked through the gardens, classical music was being performed by musicians.It was a fabulous way to soak in the loveliness!

 The neighborhood my pal Julie and I enjoyed was the University area.This is a college town and near campus are some old beautiful homes.

I love to see vegetable gardens mingled with flower gardens.

What is beautiful to you?
I love a yard that someone puts their heart and soul into.A space turned into something that brings the owner peace and joy.Their own piece of heaven.

This tour had some nice places and some places that were a different flavor than my own, but one thing did get my heart singing. The stroll through a nice neighborhood with a friend who has the same spirit as mine! We enjoyed the beauty of the flowers and vegetable gardens while soothing music played in the background.We chatted about what we liked and wondered about the owners.

It made my mind wonder to a place I would like to be for more than a visit! I want to create my own piece of heaven. A place that allows you to rest your mind and sooth your soul.I keep going back to "How". How do I achieve this desire to live simply with just the things I love.I don't need a mansion. Just a place we can call our own and decorate with what we love. Beauty is not on a price tag. Some of my favorite things are vintage finds!

I hope that through some adventures, even small ones, I can ponder the path I need to take. I hope that along my journey God throws in a road sign. I need the ones that say "This way stupid"! I often think I know what's best...BZZZ...wrong answer! I need to enjoy the journey and I will get to where I should be!

But...... If you were to ask me, I think I should be somewhere I can enjoy my family, vintage decorations,chickens,vegetable/flower gardens, homemade goodies and entertaining!!! That's just if you ask me!
