A Misty Morn in the Garden

Hello everyone,
    I hope all is well with you after Hurricane Irene passed through-here we escaped with only a windy day and some rain but I know some of you were hit harder but maybe not as hard as anticipated.
  One morning late last week we arose to a very misty morn so I grabbed my camera and took a few shots around the garden. I loved the look of the angel above with the mist around giving a mystical look.
  

The roses look so pretty in the mist.
I will let you wander around the garden -enjoy the soft mystical  look as you go.













 We have seven of our grandchildren here for a couple of days so we are enjoying the sound of giggles and happy excited little voices in our home once again.
 We are supposed to have beautiful weather here all week so we will happily take it!

I am joining Cielo for show off your cottage Monday at the house in the roses.

Thank you for visiting me,

Carolyn

    Carolyn, I just sit here in awe over these photos and the beauty of your gardens. I can't believe how beautifully all your plants grow there. I would love to see the hydrangeas grow so tall here.
    I am so thrilled to hear that you were included in Jo-Anne's new issue. I still think that you have got to be published in Victoria someday. Your whole blog reminds me so much of it.
    I'm so glad you didn't have any damage from the storm.
    sending hugs

    So lovely pictures. Just love the angel with the mist around it. And just to look at your garden makes me want to try to get one alike it.
    I'm so glad that at least you didn't have to see your garden lost in that weather.

    Carolyn, you have such a fairy tale garden. I cannot imagine what it must be like to wake up each morning surrounded by such beauty. It truly is a haven! I've said it before and I'll say it again; I could move right into that little cottage of yours.
    I'm glad the storm didn't cause any harm to your property. The wind broke off some of our Glads and that's about it. I'm not going to complain. Enjoy the little ones.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Carolyn,

    You've managed to capture a moment in time so beautifully. I love the mystical quality to your photos. You have such an eye for the perfect shots!

    Midge has a suggestion for the name of your new 'old' wooden boat - "Lady of the Lake"...SMILE.

    Hello Carolyn, there are some months that I visit your blog without leaving message (my English is not very good). But I can stay no longer without say to you my admiration in front of your magnificent garden! Which romanticism, and this light fog adds some more of mystery... "Bravo" for this attractive blog and this wonderful garden. Amicalement.
