Poppy's Secret Garden

Tuesday, June 10, 2008



I took this photo about five years ago before my Dad went into a nursing home. He was a mad keen gardener, not only with flower beds but had his own hydroponic vegetable garden..

This particular garden was filled with gnomes and maiden hair ferns all his grandchildren called it the Fairy Garden..It is not as pretty now, the old gnomes have faded and the ferns have since died.

Carol, this is one of the most beautiful pictures I've ever seen. The creative editing of it is amazing. I think my Cody would be able to use his seeing stone and see the faeries. He'd love this photo. When they get back, I want to show it to him.

You are immensely talented.

Thankyou Francine, I have been so touched with the idea od Cody's seeing stones I think I might just use the idea for another poem and I may even bring Cody's name into it as well. You will be the first to read it..

Stacey and Sam,
Thankyou both for your encouraging words and your visits.. I love the photo and the words mean so much to me also I wrote them at a time when my dad had to leave the family home and enter a nursing home..His garden looked like fairy land to all his grandchildren.
