"I've stolen a garden."

Today I dressed up as Mary Lennox from The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. My mommy read me the story often and I really like the idea of having a garden I can go to to be my sanctuary. Besides, Mary is said to have a sour face. I kinda have a sour face myself so I'm perfect for the role!


That's why I feel very lucky because today I got to finally have my own secret garden. It's actually a new summer garden for my house. But my mommy and I decorated it so that it looks like the secret garden. The overall theme is blue and I even have a swing that is blue! I'm very very happy about it.

My boyfriend Kelana even came over and helped me play pretend. He's sweet that way. He played the role of Colin Craven, Mary's cousin. But he ran around too much. I told him that Colin was supposed to look a little sickly but he just laughed and said, "well, I'm the healthy Colin!" Oh well... I guess the story can be altered just a little bit.
