Happy Birthday!

[julchen11]

There's a little wonderland I visited many many times the last years. Where do you find it? You just have to open "the green door". I opened it countless times and I was and I still am ...charmed. 
Not only by the wonderful stories you can find there, charmed by you my dear elanorgardner

Happy Birthday sweetheart! 
Thank you for being a wonderful friend, caring, loving and just being you. 
Have a wonderful and very special day as special as YOU are.

Garden of dreams

 

Behind Bag End’s garden there’s a secret place hidden by lilac and butterfly bushes,

Surrounded by pines my father planted many years ago. Nobody knows about this little place, not even my Master.

There is an old bench Mr. Bilbo wanted to throw away, I repaired it, painted it blue.

There is also a small table I made of the trunk of an old oak.

It’s my refuge, my secret place to escape from reality.

As soon as I finished watering the flowers, flowers in all shades of blue, white, red and yellow – I just sit down looking at this beautiful picture. Butterflies and bumblebees are dancing through the air cheerfully. I have to admit I am very proud of this small place.

 

Many times I am here thinking about my daily chores, dreaming about fearful adventures, dragons, trolls and elves…

But most of the time I am dreaming of my Master. Watching him reading this afternoon, elbows on his knees, chin in his hands, frowning not and then, smiling, too … made my heart stand still. Looking into his eyes before I had to leave always takes my breath away. Who wouldn’t be charmed looking in those pearls of blue for only a moment…

I am young and I already found my little piece of rainbow.

 

Today he whispered “You are no less a miracle for being ‘just’ my gardener…”

My gardener he said.

 

I always wonder if it’s too early to go

Or far too late.

 

I can picture your graceful movements, where are you going, Frodo?

How will it feel to hold you in my arms?

How will your lips feel meeting mine?

Is your skin as soft as I think it to be?

 

Why did I choose you, Mr. Frodo?

As if I had a chance.

 

This little bit of love he shows me makes me feel accepted.

For the first time in my life I am someone great.

‘My gardener’ …

 

It is time to leave my garden of dreams, waving good-bye to the flowers, to bench and table.

 

The time will come, when Frodo will love this little place, too.

And me.

Lots of love and big tight hugs, 
Julchen

Ah the love and hope in this! I adore Sam's secret place, and know Frodo will too.

my gardener

Sam just needs a little place for his own to dream, who won't like to dream like he does ...
*sighs with you*
Thank you, my dear Belle!

oh wow. His secret place is just...I just love how cherished he is by Frodo and vice versa!

Awww, thank you, my sweetie! I'm sure Mr. Frodo will get to know this secret place very soon... :-)

How lovely!

Thank you, lovey!

I love the image of that blue bench and the table Sam made, nestled in a bower of beautiful flowers, where he can sit and dream. Love, Julchen.

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you enjoy this place as much as I do, Julia!

Love and hugs,
Julchen

Ooooh but of course there will be a time when they both go to that secret nook and enjoy the quiet and the flowers and the solitude... :)

*hugs you* Lovely story!

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Awww,thank you, my dear. I'm sure Frodo won't resist Sam any longer ... :-)
I'm glad you like this little story! *smooch*

[withywindle01.livejournal.com]

Sweet, lovely, ever-hopeful Sam. I just know his dream will come true!

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed that his dreams will come true very soon :-)
Thank you, my dear! Sam is just a darling, isn't he?

[bagma.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's so lovely! I can picture Sam perfectly, hidden in his little corner, surrounded by colourful flowers and dreaming of dragons and Frodo... Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing such a poetic image with us!

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank YOU for your lovingly words, bagma. They mean soooo much to me.
I could see Sam, too. Humming, watering the flowers, fighting with his waterin can against the world... for Frodo :-)

Love you, my dear
Julchen

Aw, I love Sam having his own secret place in the garden, where he can dream about Mr Frodo! *snuggles*

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Thank you,telstar! I'm glad you like this little place, too.
Your icon is sooo beautiful... *happy sigh*
*snuggles back*

Thank you Julchen for your lovely comment about The Green Door. And for your wonderful birthday gift. What a beautiful ficlet. Sam in his secret place in the garden, still loving his Frodo, still devoted to being both "gardener" and "beloved".

It is beautiful. Thank you so much!

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Awww, I'm sooo relieved you like it, Elanor. I hope you had a fan-tastic day, my dear!
You deserve all the very best!

Love you,
Julchen

[cookiefleck.livejournal.com]

Great idea, that Sam would make a little haven for himself in the garden. This begs for many sequels.

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Awww, thank you, cookie! You made me smile.

Sequels... Hmmm... I think you may be right :-)
I'm still on vacation so there's much time for thinking ... and writing :-)

*snugglehugs*

[aprilkat.livejournal.com]

Sam can dream, and someday his dream will come true. Mr. Frodo will join him in that secret garden. *happy sigh*

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't it be nice if we could watch them ?
The Shire could need some paparazzi, right? Maybe Casey could take the photos ...
*sighs with you*

[aliensouldream.livejournal.com]

Oh Julchen, this is so lovely. Sam's secret dreaming spot! What a marvellous idea and a beautiful place. I love the description of it, it sounds delightful. And how carefully he tends it. How nice to think of him spending a quiet moment or two there after his chores, just thinking of the things that are important to him ... like his Master :-) I can just see Frodo too, elbows on knees, reading and looking up to give Sam a smile!

I adored that Sam is so entranced that he said 'MY gardner'.

This little bit of love he shows me makes me feel accepted.
For the first time in my life I am someone great.

Sam knows that wonderful things grow slowly and he is thrilled at the first little signs of love between them.

How will your lips feel meeting mine?
Is your skin as soft as I think it to be?

*thrills* So sensual and romantic!

Thank you, Julchen, for this beautiful glimpse inside Sam's head. His garden of dreams is now MY garden of dreams! :-)

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

Thank YOU so much for your wonderful words, ASD!
I'm sure you'd love this dreamy garden, too. I'm also sure that it won't last that long and Frodo will know this secret place, too. Spending some time together with "his" gardener ... he wouldn't ask for more, would he?

I'm so glad you like Sam's garden of dreams!

*smoochies*
