I have a friend who sees them, but I haven't as yet. That would be a lovely sort of garden to have, and with music, too---nice. Thanks very much for visiting some of my posts, and for the birthday wishes. Much appreciated. :) Oooh, Fairies and fairy houses, joanharvest! I have a friend who sees them, but I haven’t as yet.

My wasband's (ex-husband)birthday was the 24th. The Secret Garden is one of my favorite books. I've mentioned on my blog before that I want a magical garden with fairies flying around and little fairy houses. I can picture it so perfectly in my mind. I can even hear the music that would be playing. Happy belated birthday. My wasband’s (ex-husband)birthday was the 24th. The Secret Garden is one of my favorite books.

Who knew I had gardens in my soul? :) The film was good, and for the most part true to the ideals of the book. I did take issue with a couple of plot changes to make it more "romantic" as those ideas would have been contrary to the original character definitions. Thanks for commenting on the quoted passage. I can honestly say that one passage changed my life. OK, you have encouraged me to do a post on films soon. Thank you, as I'm running a bit dry at the moment. See you in the movies! ;) cj, indeed.

It definitely suits you. I read it years ago and it's a great book. I'll have to reread it; it was for school and it's not the same as discovering it for yourself. I'm more familiar with the 1993 film; that was good too, beautiful music. I love that passage you quoted. It's very true and shows how much thought goes into even the most innocent of stories... but then a story can change the life of a child, so it makes sense that Burnett, Baum or any writer would use it as a metaphor for larger ideas. Loved the post. Now we just need one on your favourite film! :) I’d never have picked The Secret Garden for your favourite! It definitely suits you. I read it years ago and it’s a great book.

Let me know if you liked it. I think you may find some of the spiritual themes inspiring. <strong>sulz</strong>, yes, April 25 is my birthday, which makes me a Taurus: stubborn but determined. :) (oops, I guess I just said that about my friend <em>seeing</em>, too ;) ) I wanted to be a little subtle about it, yet still celebrate it on my blog. I consider myself wished, by you. Thank you!!! :D Thank you <strong>ella</strong>! Glad you liked the pics, too. I've had some magnificent hiking this year, it's so pretty! I hope you like Secret Garden...I have a feeling you will. :) Your artist's eye will see a lot in that book, <strong>seeing</strong>! Happy Birthday to you! I knew we had things in common. :D We're in good company. I always liked that this was Ella Fitzgerald's birthday, too. Terrific, Rikard! Let me know if you liked it.
