Looking back and going forward

Well the weather still has not warmed up as I found out this morning when I made my weekly trip to the farmer's market. Thinking that it would feel a bit warmer outside because there had been no frost last night due to a light covering of cloud, I just wore my fleece and a pair of gloves. However, the further I got along the road, the colder I got because the wind was bitingly cold. The weather forecast had said that the temperatures would be about 7 degrees C but no mention had been made of the wind and the wind chill factor which made it about zero degrees. By the time I reached the market I was really regretting not wearing my hat so I didn't hang around too long.
When I got home I made some hot coffee and sat down to thaw out. I decided to sort through some old photographs because I am writing a memoir for Eden and I have taken quite a few photos of her as she has been growing up. A lot of these have been taken in my back yard and over the years the whole thing has been re-designed and replanted several times.
In some of the pictures the garden looked quite beautiful so I spread the best pictures out on the table and then picked those that I liked the most and noted down the plants and flowers that looked the best. Now I am in the process of re-designing the garden yet again so when the weather does get warmer, I will be able to start yet another makeover in time for the summer!
