Blogiversary Week, Day 4 - Make it Colorful

What do you think about color?

Although I can appreciate black and white photography for it's beauty,

I do like my garden with a bit of color.

Which brings me back to the idea of a garden journal.  Wouldn't you love to be able to add beautiful hand drawn illustrations, like the inside cover of Martha Stewart's Gardening Book...

or perhaps the simple sketches sprinkled throughout Country Gardens magazine?

I don't have the talent for either of those, but I can add color.

And you can too.  Today's addition is a set of beautiful pastel hued color pencils, a Sharpie in the most fabulous shade of aqua, pastel post-its for marking pages, a fun little binder clip, a pink ink pen and of course, just to pretty it up, a vintage unused seed packet from a local nursery... which still exists I might add.

Let there be color,
