The Childhood Garden

Here in the Childhood Garden you can rest in safety while memories of long ago are pondered and child-like spirits are set free. You are invited to try the brick hopscotch or climb the ladder to the tree house which hugs the huge magnolia tree. Here you are up in the sky with birds, white blossoms, and a fresh view of the garden. This is a great place to have yourself an imaginary tea party! Near the tree house is the redwood swing. You may want to sit awhile and dangle your legs. Birdhouses hang from the tree house. Hummingbird feeders sway from the fig trees. If you are very still, one of these hovering jewels may dance close for your inspection. This garden is an intimate place. It is just right for dreaming. You can allow your imagination to soar.
