The Secret Garden


I went exploring today with a friend from church today. We went to the Rose Garden, which was the most beautiful spot I have ever seen!!! It was like stepping into the Secret Garden, or a Jane Austen book or Victoria's England. We also went over to the Pettlock Mansion which afforded the most spectacular view of Mt. Hood and all of Portland. I wish I could've gotten a good enough picture of the view to share, but my camera wasn't good enough, but take my word for it, it was beautiful.


The weather was so perfect for such exploring. Walking through the Rose Garden I thought of the line from the Secret Garden when Dickon tells Mary that there will be "curtains of roses." 





 Now I am ready for a nap, I accidentally stayed up too late last night. Instead I'm eating popcorn and watching the 2015 Cinderella. It's been pretty cold up here so I'm surprised there were as many roses left as there were.
