Ah this is charming.. misspelling and all. Knowing me I would have tucked a litte e in there and ruined it. :)
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of my favorite all time book... The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. A book that turned me onto Gardening as a child.

ReplyDeleteBoy - you're super busy and creative! I appreciate how you share your creativity on your blog and in your classes!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see others do it too. It's a charming page, misspelling and all. On my latest misspelling, I even had the whole word (correctly spelled) written out on tracing paper - I just didn't COPY it correctly!
ReplyDeleteI can see why you were charmed by this gate. I love gates. Especailly gates that have a peek door in them. I always want to peek.
ReplyDeleteSecrt is more criptic, like texting, or a code to gain entrance. I'm also fascinated by doors, archways, and paths.
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love a secrt garden?! Now you need to paint what's behind the door!
ReplyDeleteI always see a gate as an invitation, so how appropriate! I laughed at your right brain spelling, mine does exactly the same thing! When I start writing, I have to wake up the left brain - or else. Lovely gentle colors and washes!
ReplyDeleteLet's talk!
