Romantic Garden, where are you..

No this is not my garden, but a girl can dream.
I strolled around my garden the other day horrified with the 3 months of weed growth that lay ahead of me.
How i dream of my 4 wisterias looking like this.
It would be wonderful to snap your fingers and tada, instant garden.
I have several different camellias growing, cherry blossoms, magnolias, crabapples and an assortment of smaller bushier plants, but somehow it still doesnt look like my romantic garden. I have big ideas for our 2 and ahalf acreas, but im drowning in my 1 acre of garden.
I think the next 3 months are going to be spent planting a heap of cottage trees and shrubs and of cause the weeding.
Everyday i visualize winding paths leading to garden/potting sheds, a guest house/ studio, and some well needed garden  benches to sit awhile.
It takes so much time planning and effort but i no  oneday it will be worth it.
Garden rooms or conservatorys are a must. I love love love these...
Well easter is just around the corner, so im going to try my hand at making my own eggs this year, wish me luck. Have a wonderful evening...

Things that make me smile


Its raining its pouring, thank the lord we so needed this down pour which we have been getting for the last few days, i just love it. We are living in what i call my cottage shed. The rain sounds amazing on the tin roof. So i was sitting today thinking of things apart from my family that make me smile.
Peonies make me smile(just photos though as i cant grow them here, its alittle warm)
Water fountains would make anyone smile, the amazing sound of trickling water
Aren't these papers gorgeous. I love these colours.
Im so in love with chandeliers, I have a box of them and scouncers that i will do up someday soon.
And lastly a rock wall,maybe several will be nice in my garden. Hope your having a great weekend.
