This is a very peaceful and beautiful blog! Definitely take some time and enjoy the pictures, quotes, poems and stories.
I remember as a child saying the words "When I grow up, I want to be just like..." and it would usually be someone like Ginger from "Gilligan's Island" or someone as equally silly.
Now, today, at 42, my aspirations of growing up and being like someone else are much more refined and real...so, when I grow up I want to be like Maitri and live in my own Dragonfly Cottage.
Reading about her life, her managerie and her gardens, sparks me to do more of the things in life that bring me joy and peace.
This is a wonderful blog and I visit it daily. It inspires and calms me and is very well written.
