on and off the page

When I was little, I used to copy house plans from the back of my mom's Country Living magazines and add 12-year old flourishes, like towers and and moats and secret closets. Sketches are so pure like that. Clean little representations of potential.

Take this garden plan. Yes, cats may trample a few onions and earwigs may invade my cauliflower and who knows what else. But here is The Plan. Before I get schooled by all the messy, great things that happen off the page.

I love your plan! I always draw plans of my garden in winter because it makes spring seem just a tad bit closer.
