Garden Beauty and Lucy



                                                             Hello everyone,
                              I hope your week went well. It certainly went by quickly here.I would like to slow down the season now so can enjoy all the lush beauty awhile longer but alas time will not stand still! Above is the door to the boathouse and I am still tweaking the inside.
                     One sunny day last week I was happy to have met Lucy as she came for a visit all prettied up in her vintage kerchief. Lucy is so sweet-don't you think she looks adorable?
                                         She made a nice addition to the porch!

   Hope you enjoyed meeting Lucy and having a little peek at some of the garden beauty.

             I am joining My Romantic Home for Show & Tell Friday.

            Have a wonderful weekend!

Your gardenscapes are just stunning, Carolyn!

Your constant hard work surely has paid off - and shows.

Well done, it's exquisite!

Lucy is just the cutest addition to the boathouse. Her scarf matches the bouquet. Your garden views are so beautiful. I like the one through the screen doors. I hope you have a lovely long weekend. It looks rather wet for the Maritimes I'm afraid. Pamela

Your gardens are so lush and beautiful, Carolyn. Your boathouse and gardener's cottage are tucked in perfectly. What a designer you are! And a hard worker too...I have large gardens and I know quite well how many hours it takes to maintain them. I spend a lot of hours ENJOYING them too...I call it my little piece of heaven, my personal paradise.

Every time again it is so nice to see your heavenly garden, and yes I like Lucy for I am a doglover. Especially on the second photo she looks so wise.

Awwwwwww, Carolyn. Lucy is just the pizazz. Love that hanky around her neck.

I always love tours around your magnificent gardens. Soooooo peaceful. Susan
