Something I love at this time of year are the catalogues from the hardware and garden stores. All that promise of Spring just around the corner. They brim with gorgeously coloured images of glistening fruit, and glowing spring bulbs.
I want them all…..6 varieties of everything, even though I know I’m not that good at follow-through! But it’s all in the dream! I can almost feel the warm sun sparkling on the vibrant tulips under the foamy cherry blossom.
And you know what – dreaming is as good as the real thing for making the ‘happy hormones’ flow; the brain doesn’t mind if you feel good or just make an effort to smile – either will do.
So if all you can do is dream about a lush Spring garden, go ahead, and enjoy it!
