Hello Everyone,
We are enjoying some lovely summer weather lately so we might as well enjoy it while we can.
How about taking a little afternoon respite in the shade of the Limelight hydrangea.
Relax and enjoy a few of my favorite books.
I love hydrangeas in all shapes and sizes and colors and it doesn't take many to make a pretty bouquet.
Since it is a hot day how about a cold glass of lemonade?
Well, I hope you enjoyed a pleasant respite-I know I did!
Today ,I am joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for her Tea Time Tuesday again. Thank you Sandi for hosting and for the feature!
Take care,
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn! Well, I VERY much enjoyed this respite. The hydrangeas are luscious. I must say again that it's really lovely of you to create such a beautiful vignette to share with all of us.
Hope your week is filled with wonderful memories!

I have been photoing my hydrangeas too:)
I love them..I'me made baskets..and book scenes:)
Yours take the cake:)
Not only are your hydrangeas beautiful, but your setting and the way you photographed them are both just stunning. This blog is always so lovely to me.
Thank~you Carolyn for the lovely spot and beautiful choice of books. Your Images are just Breathtaking. I hope you had a lovely afternoon too!

Carolyn, you have created a lovey, serene setting for tea today. Your hydrangeas are superb. The lemonade would be refreshing too.
What an inviting space... and a cold Glass of Lemonade sounds delish... especially since it's 112degrees here today, which even by Arizona Desert standards broke a record for this day.

So nice to sit here with you a spell. No more beautiful place to do it than in your garden. I can't believe how huge your Limelights get! Mine don't even get half the large. It would be so nice to see them get that big.
Beautiful photos of such a pretty space.
sending hugs...
Absolutely Beautiful Carolyn!!

Love visiting here in your garden, though I don't leave comments usually. Your hydrangeas are amazing, I am falling in love with them this year.
Very pretty! I love the flowers, they are a soft romantic color and they go so well with your beautiful setting. I have only pink hydrangeas, but I would like to get some other colors to mix and match.
Lovely pictures!
Have a great day,
Charlotte

Hello Carolyn!
I come here often, I am delighted with all this beauty.
It is the most beautiful blog I know ... I never tire of looking, I have always admired ... not comment because I have difficulty with English, I need google translator, and is very complicated.
But I want to tell you that I admire.
kisses

Happy tea,
Lorena

Your hydrangeas are just beautiful and what a lovely place to hide away for the afternoon. I could easily share a glimpse of that stack of reading books on your table and share a glass of lemonade.Beautiful photo's.
Hello dear, I also love the hydrangeas. Unfortunately I did not grow so vigorously. The guilt is too hot climate. Even though I water all suffer greatly. I wish you a wonderful day Gilda
There is always a sense of serenity when visiting your garden. You have a lovely touch with gathering just the right things to invite one to come and to relax. I adore hydrangeas and wish ours were still blooming. They've come and gone, now we're looking for Fall blooms. Yours are fantastic in the basket - thank you for inviting us in - quite relaxed now and ready to enjoy the day - Hope yours is blessed!
