| Do you ever wake up ...Longing for something....I did this morning...I am longing for blooming Azalea bush's....roses in lots of colors ...trailing wildly ...unkempt...left to bloom carelessly....but stunning just the same...I am longing for spring... |
 |
| This feeling is not unusual for me....I come up on it quietly....step by step as we live the season of winter...January is behind us...February is half over....the passing of Valentines Day always sets my feet on this path....the anticipation of...SPRING... |
 |
| I was also aware as I opened my eyes that I was longing for Garden weather...temps that woo you...fill your senses with heady smells of blooming flowers...setting your eyes on lush vines crawling up a fence...tending to flower beds..... |
 | ||
| I am longing for Victoria Magazine too....the Spring issue... as I opened my email this morning I had a message from The Cottage Journal if you've never heard of it ...the link is here...cottagejournal@acemail.hoffmanmedia.com |
 |
| Phyllis Hoffman is the creator of all things "Victoria"....she created ...The Cottage Journal....to bless us with beauty ...design ideas...and lush pictures in our very own email....I joined right away...there is always a link to the next issue of Victoria too...which I love... |
 |
| inspiring eye candy during a season that is mostly void of color... lush gardens...no walking out our back doors into our own ....so I live vicariously through the FABULOUS photos I am always guarenteed in any issue of Victoria...but none as fullfilling as the SPRING ISSUE....let me assure you the 2012 issue for spring is not a disapontment...I peeked ...and I can't wait until it hits the shelves.... |
 |
| One of the other things I ALWAYS LONG FOR IS....BOUNTIFUL...on Abbot Kinney Rd in Venice Beach California....so far from me....I look through all the magazines I've saved with articles of Sue Balmforth's deluxe ....soul filling...store....I miss being able to hop in the car and find myself at Bountiful's front door....ready to take in ...and fill myself up ...with any possible display...vignette.. or...product I could wish for...the experience lasts... I was there in 2004....a long time ago...still it fills me up |
 |
| The next thing I long for is a comfortable chair...a long day...set aside for lounging luxuriously on the beach....with a perfect breeze blowing...sea gulls singing...food and drink in the cooler...and my faces next to me to enjoy the kiss of a sunny day...wishing you all the same...blessings and big hugs till next time...Karena |
I am longing for spring too. The wonderful mild weather, the flowers starting to emerge from their winter slumber, spending more time outside. Hurry up spring and get here. Hope your weekend is lovely Karena.
