| My niece and I share this secret. |
This secret garden travels
with me. So old, that the house has long since abandoned it. So quite,
that I can hear my heart beat. In summer it exudes a unique, sweet fragrance
that placates the nostrils. A vision that defines tranquility.
Across the adjacent field of bright Derwent greens lies a deserted, weather-beaten shepherd's hut that continues to be serenaded by the discordant sounds of cowbells.
My piece of paradise lays hidden in the Swiss Alps. It's exact location? .........That's my secret
A Secret Garden
If there were a secret garden,
What would it comprise?
Fragrant flowers, a babbling brook, butterflies?
Dragonflies, birds, and bees, there would be all of these.
But most of all, within ‘that place’,
Tranquil peace and serenity await;
Ever there for me and you to relax and renew.
So every morning before you start,
Visit the ‘secret garden’ of your heart.
By Linda Wall Hall

Beautiful... and dreamy. Perfect to cheer me up on the grey, cold, Seattle morning. Merci! Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
What a lovely poem!

Beautiful! Glad you came by the blog to visit, now I've found you. Your French Folly is lovely... don't worry it will be worth all the hard work once you're loved in. I'm an American expat in Paris with a similar project going on in Bretagne!

What a wonderful, dreamy, dreamer post. Merci, amie.
What a cool place!
Just imagining its history...
Lookin' good over here with the new header!
Your photos are beautiful and what a treat you have shown us. I would keep this place a secret, too! Isn't it wonderful how you can close your eyes and be right back in this spot?
Bises,

Beautiful photographs and the verse is the icing on the cake! Your new header knocked me out!

lovely poem! I have a secret garden in my mind & my heart too! :)
Oh wow, it's so lush and gorgeous. There's a secret/walled garden in one of our local parks (took me years to find it!) but it's being 'done up' and I'm worried they'll spoil it.
Lovely - lovely !
Poem and pictures!!!
