I Want To Find My Own Secret Garden
Ok, I have always wanted to find my secret garden with a big wall surrounding it and a hidden key to get in...but another favorite place of mine was my grandmothers attic...it reminded me today because we were cleaning her home to be sold as she is moving into an apt...
So, there it was before me. A 10x10 room...with a mauve rug, lounge chair and table, armoire, mirror on the wall and wallpaper...a light blue with large flower and swirls-gaudy but faded enough to be cool. The room on one side is all windows, as this is a city row home...so the three huge windows go from floor to ceiling...the sun peers in all day, fading the rug and walls, like I said, to make it cozy...I used to stay with my grandparents for days in the summer, and would spend a lot of time playing up there...dress up, house...the warm sun coming in...I wanted to live there!! Now today I went up the creaky stairs and sat there. The sun peeking through the window...showing the dust that I stirred up. I look around and remember my secret place to play at my grandmoms. She lived in the city, but I made that a secret garden!
