On a beautiful day last week my friend Janice and I went for a little day trip to some of our favorite places and some new back road country places that we had not seen before.
For some reason the song "An Old Log Cabin for Sale' with an old open bucket and well kept going through my head here. It was a song my parents enjoyed many long years ago. My husband said it is an old Wilf Carter song. Anyone else know it?
Happy Birthday to Jessica!
On a different note it was a little birthday celebration for Jessie who just turned seven and her cousin Lucas and Sasha Jessie's puppy enjoyed some fun and cake and icecream. Little Lucas is still travelling once a week to Montreal( a day trip most weeks) for a drug trial for Muscular Dystrophy as some of you may remember and we are happy with how well it is going for Lucas and his Mama.
Hope you enjoyed my' country days'.
Thank you for your visit!

Hi Carolyn..these just capture the golden days of summer! What an amazing yellow house and the cooking school just blows my mind.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your photographs,especially the horses. It would be fun to do a course and get to see inside L M Montgomery's birthplace.
ReplyDeleteNice to see this Carolyn !!...love your pictures!!...xxx...
ReplyDeleteThank you once again for starting my day with such beauty. To many times people pass on the ugly parts of life, more people need to create and pass on beauty as you are doing.

These photos inspire bygone memories....and my husband would say ahhhhhchooooo to that golden rod - he is very allergic. I love those corbels on the house.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the birthday of your granddaughter Carolyn. She has grown so much!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your tour of the island. I don't want the plant in my garden (just got rid of it), but the field with Goldenrod looks beautiful!
Have a lovely day,

ReplyDeleteOh, Carolyn, you have a wonderful day! I really like your photos.

Carolyn, your photographs are just enough to make me feel like I have been on a little vacation but they also make me feel like I need a long road trip. Feel like I'm missing out on so many beautiful places. You have such a great eye and manage to single out all the sweetest sights!

What fun to share your Birthday with a cousin. And look how happy they are together. They have a wonderful happy smile! Happy Birthday Jessica and keep going strong little Lucas..prayers all the time for best health!
ReplyDeleteI too am fond of that old song "An old log cabin for sale". I believe it was a Porter Wagoner song. I recently found your blog and am enjoying your posts!!
ReplyDeleteEEEEeek.. I logged into your blog yesterday afternoon and 'poof' I crashed. I even lost your blog link sweet pea! So her I am sneaking in via back door and I need a new link direction from my blog to yours. So.. if you don't mind, let me grab it and load it in.
ReplyDeleteI think all windows went down as I've had to reboot ipads, laptops and main frames. (Upgrading or gosh only knows) oh yea.. your blog comes in nicely on my ipad.. just an fyi.. and you go where I can go too.

ReplyDeleteHi :) At the same time I wrote a post about two recipes from Lucy's kitchen (cookies and cucumber jelly - http://podniebemszerokim.blogspot.com/2012/08/z-wizyta-na-zielonym-wzgorzu.html ) and I invited ma readers to your beautiful garden. It is a model of a garden in the English style for me. Regards, D.
ReplyDeleteThis is icing on the cake for me. I adore your beautiful garden and your lovely home so much. The soft colours you use and all the amazing settings you put together. Then, you show me this! Country pictures! I think I just fainted ;) Wonderful! Look at the beautiful consoles and ornaments..
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, Jessica! So glad to hear that Lucas is doing well.

Oh, Carolyn! How beautiful all of the old worn wood is - how fun to toodle around! That was what I was looking forward to the most, this summer, but, as it turned out, we couldn't go ANYWHERE! Good thing that it's so beautiful right where we are! ...and, ooooooo.....the fog is rolling in! Gotta go! =D
