Day 57

I woke up this morning after having the most wonderful dream.  I dreamed about my grandma and her garden. 

Now my grandma lived in a city, but she had a nice little backyard which she turned into a beatiful garden.  I remember being little and playing in the flowers, "helping" her in the garden.  The smells, colors, life... it was amazing.  I have always wished I had her green thumb, but honestly, I have never really tried.

In my dream it was after she had passed, but we were taking the flowers to give them new homes.  Everytime someone would hold up one of her plants they would ask, "What do we do with this one?"  Me, I simply couldn't let them go to different homes, so I took all of them.  I just kept saying, "It's what she would have wanted.  She would want me to make the world beautiful like she did."

I woke with this overwhelming feeling afterward.  I was happy, sad, overjoyed, inspired.

So today, I decided I want to make myself a little garden.  This is so exciting.  I am more interested in doing a garden of fruits, vegetables and herbs.  My backyard is pretty big, but it is all concrete and disheveled as no one takes care of it.  I hopped online and found tons of resources on urban gardening with little to no space.  I still need to ask my landlord if it is okay, but he has been very impressed with the work I have done around the house.  I am positive he will be okay with me picking up the backyard.

I know I can do this.  I want to do this.  And I have a ton of ideas that I can't wait to try out to make a unique garden... if you couldn't tell from my pics.
