Music Monday - The Secret Garden

Given the awesome gardens I've been visiting of late (and all the time I'm spending in mine), I thought I'd post this Tony performance of the original cast of The Secret Garden -

I religiously listen to this soundtrack every spring, when I'm starting to wither a bit from garden-and-growing-things withdrawal...

"Come a mild day, come a warm rain,
Come a snowdrop, a-comin' up!"_

Yesterday, I posted photos from the herb garden portion of The Hermit's Grove. Today, I'm posting pics from the gorgeous back, wooded area of the property -
From the decorative -(the ornamented out-buildings...)

The low-walled stone circle...

(complete with a 'marble' floor. :-)

The fairy-house under the big-leaf maple...

Into the woods....

The huckleberries growing from cedar trunks...

...and trees growing on trees...

...tis a magical place, truly.

"And all through the darkest nighttime,
It's waiting for the right time.
When a thing is wick, it will grow!"

My favorite play of all time. It's the place where every little girl can find her lost happiness...

Such a magical place. I love the marbles. I used to have a huge box as a child. What a good idea to decorate a garden with them. :)
