Dreaming of Spring



Im dreaming of warm breezy days, where I'm bent over the earth with a rake and a straw hat. Where the earth is starting to show fuzzy green ferns, and buds are starting to open on the trees. Green is quietly covering the land, and the gloomy feelings of winter are slowing fading into the shadows of the setting sun. Im dreaming of dropping seeds into pots, and watching cute little leaves come up to smile at me. I'm dreaming of singing songs while plowing the dirt for my little garden; and of all the wonderful and delightful little herbs and flowers I can plant, and the wonderful trips to TLC that I will be taking with my mom, and of browsing the vast aisles of intriguing new plants. I am dreaming of all this and much more. Can you guess what season I am dreaming of, why it's Spring of course! My favorite Season of them all, and only 3 more months to go! ^__^


-This is my little garden from last year. I know... it is very small. Last year was my very first year to start a garden. In years past, I used to just help my mom in hers. I am so looking forward to working on it this year. ^__^



-I love this picture. ^__^ Its so pretty. I've always dreamed of having a garden like this. ^__^ Or visiting a garden like it. It's just lovely. ^^

Reading Goals

So, I have decided that I am going to set some reading goals for myself for this year. Here is what they are. ^__^ I would really love to read acleast 15 books this year... which is actually not that many, but I am a really really slow reader. Lol! I love reading, but I am just really slow. ^^' But Im getting faster all the time. Haha! ^^ Any way, yeah, haha, thats one of my goals because I think last year I only read maybe 8 books... not very many... :( I hope to read even more than 15, but I don't want to push it. lol! XD College dosen't give me much time to read. :( Also! My other goal, is to read all the books on my book shelf that I haven't already read. I have bought so many books, but havent read them all yet. :( I really need to just read all of them first before I buy anymore new books. So thats my goal also to not buy anymore books until I have read all of the ones on my bookshelf. Except for one exception, which is the book fiar that comes but just once a year. Haha, so if I dont have all my books read by then, that is my one exception. I just love the book fair! I have to buy acleast a few books. ^^' All hard backs are only a $1, and all paper backs are .50cents! Its so much fun, and they have sooo many books, and amazing prices!! Some people go in there with suitcases and get tons of books! XD lol! So yup! those are my goals!! Wish me luck! XD I'll keep you all updated how its going, and what books I've read or are reading, and give like reviews and input on what I thought about the books. ^^

The book I am curently reading right now is called Castle in the Air! Its really good so far!
