Cindi with Pansies

This photo was taken in the lovely town of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Pansies are one of my favorite flowers. When I was young, I used to think that someone had painted faces on each flower :)

I'm currently taking some photographs of my little garden and will include them here when they're done. For now, let me share with you some gardens that I'm dreaming of ...

Last fall, I planted several bulbs in a window box inside my kitchen. I had irises, crocus, scillia, and hyacinth. I'll never forget how nice and cheery it was to see those colorful flowers while it was still snowy and cold outside.

One of my friends planted daffodils in her garden.
Flowers such as these are a common sight in my neighborhood. There is a large pine tree right outside my door and I planted pink impatiens around the base of the tree. They bring a nice touch of color!

African violets are always cheerful to see.

Couldn't you just imagine walking down this country lane right now? Smell the sweet flowers, feel the warm breeze on your face, listen to the birds singing....

I hope that you have enjoyed these photos and perhaps they'll serve as an inspiration for you to start your own garden...

Have fun!
