Summer Relaxation



 Hell everyone,
     I hope you all had a relaxing weekend-maybe some time in the hammock?
 With a good book and a pretty bouquet to enjoy.
 This is one of my favourite books. It is from Norway and a Christmas one is coming out soon.Check it out on my left sidebar.
 Hope you didn't fall asleep yet-I have more to show you!
 Like some pretty peonies.

 Or another of my favorite places to relax and my favorite guy to relax with!
 It is such a peaceful place to read or just watch the sights and sounds of nature.


 We have been enjoying the sunshine here but still hoping for a rainy day soon.

Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

    SO beautiful!!

    How nice to see you and your hubs in photos, too, for a change.

    You must love to nap in that awesome hammock by your serenity pond.

    Just lovely.

    We FINALLY got some rain - wow it's been so so long.....we had 3 quick storms blow in, the 3rd one actually gave us a good soaking but the other two just teased.

    The ground soaked it all in so fast - nice to have it a mite cooler, actually did some more weeding once it stopped raining.

    Your blog is an inspiration. You should publish a book of all the pictures you show on your blog. I would glady buy one. So beautiful and relaxing looking at them.

    What a gorgeous spot to relax in and to enjoy the view.

    I love peonies. They are both beautiful and they smell so good.

    Have a lovely week ahead!

    Hi Carolyn!
    It looks so relaxing where you are..and a nice surprise to see your hubby!
    We just returned from our holidays and the places we went were hoping for rain as well. There was one downpour for a little bit, but the ground is yearning for rain.
    It was good to visit you ...have a wonderful week my friend!

    Love,
    Deborah xoxo

    Oh Carolyn.....your house, gardens, and property is something out of a movie. Or a little slice of heaven. :) I can't even come close to imagining what it's like being surrounded by that much beauty everywhere you turn. What a blessing!

    beautiful collection , the pics are very nice as i like all the pics of roses and flowers. The home gardens looks more beautiful when the is a mixture of different varieties of flowers. Thats a great one.
