Happy Weekend!
I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
We will soon be done of our garden tours
from Japan but this morning we had a smaller
tour of 16 but 7 of them were blind.It made for
a different tour
as scent and touch were much more important.
I was impressed by how well they managed(each
one traveled with a caring family member)and
how happy and enthusiastic they all were.In 3 weeks
our tours will be over and we will be getting
the garden ready for winter soon after......how
time flies.
I have been picking some hydrangeas
for drying and getting out the fall throws
as the last few days there is a hint of
fall in the air.Just last week we spent a
couple of hours at the beach and now with
a nip in the air it is hot apple cider and
warm woolly blankets.
Still lots of hydrangeas in the
garden ~ this one is a pink annabelle.
Lila spent a couple of days with
me so we went for a walk in our
woods and of course a little photo
shoot snuck in.
A thrift shop wicker bench that I plan
to give a fresh coat of paint to soon.
The pond in autumn light.
A couple of days ago there were 10 Canada geese swimming
on our pond but they were gone the next day.
Cows grazing in the autumn light.
Wouldn't you like to end your day
curled up in this cosy cottage.???
My friend Cheryl invited a few friends
over to her new cottage for tea and I
had a hard time not jumping in and
enjoying the lovely view
of the water and the trees.
I wonder if Cheryl serves breakfast in bed!
Enjoy your weekend!

Lila is adorable. Must add one of those shots to my Tartan Love board. Actually several of these will go on my Tartan boards. Your pond is a magical spot. It must be so rewarding to live at Aiken House and Gardens. Thank you for sharing the beauty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I like the pink annabelle hydrangea. Lila is so sweet and growing up! The weather has been superb hasn't it?
ReplyDeleteHappy Fall, Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteLittle Lila is becoming such a lovely young lady! Her plaid dress is adorable.
I love that your garden tour was enjoyed by your group of blind persons. That is so wonderful to know!
Your new wicker bench was a great find. I know it'll be fantastic by the time you finish with it.
Wishing you a peaceful Sunday,

Just reading that you had some guests who were blind come to enjoy your garden gave me such a feeling of gratefulness for my own sight and that I can easily see the beauty in all your lovely pics. As well, credit and compliments extend to you that your gardens provide so much pleasure, even the blind can "see" them. I really enjoyed viewing all the Canadian fall prettiness you have captured in this post's photos.
ReplyDeleteStill beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can see the Autumnal changes in your photos. It is such a beautiful time of the year. Lovely photos of your Lila dressed so beautifully. Carolyn, I love your Autumn header picture, it is stunning.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful your garden's scents and textures were enjoyed by all on the tour. Seeing the plaid blankets and sweet berry wreath puts me in a autumn mood. Your hydrangeas are a beautiful pink!
ReplyDeletelove your pictures very much............so cute.
