Garden Tour Day on Sunday

Hello everyone

We have been busy working in

our garden and  it is coming into

it's peak for color.

So  we decided to have an Open Garden

on Sunday afternoon between 2 and 4 p.m

July 25.

I took these photos this afternoon

after giving these beds a good

weeding pruning etc.

The daylillies are in bloom now

along with the beginning of the

the phlox show. along with

many other perennials.

I love day lilies.

Clematis are also in bloom now.

This one is Jackimani Superbra

So if any of you would like to visit

and live nearby  all are welcome

this Sunday afternoon 2 to 4 rain

or shine.

I hope we will have a nice day but

if not bring an umbrella and some

rubber wellies and enjoy!

If you need directions you can email

me at carolyn.mary.aiken@gmail.com

Please park on the side of the road.

Hope to see you there!

Lazy Summer Days

Hello everyone

I  hope you are enjoying some lazy

summer days. Summer always goes

by so quickly it seems.

I  enjoy lounging around  on a sunny

summer day in my old vintage chaise

with a good book and the scent of the roses

blooming around me.

The cushion for the chaise came from Homesense

Somedays it is my favorite

spot to relax with my book.

Sitting on the dock by the pond watching

the wildlife is also a pleasant passtime.

Or maybe a picnic by the pond?

Sometimes lazing around in the

hammock is the way to go!

How do you like to spend a lazy summer

day?

Enjoy your day!

Pretty Peonies

Hello everyone

I hope you are having a good week.

I have really enjoyed all the beautiful

peonies in the garden this year but

alas, the season is almost over for

another year.

I enjoyed many bouquets of various peonies

but these pink Hawaiian coral peonies are

newer to my garden so an added treat to

my collection.

So far they are not heavy bloomers

but maybe as they mature they will

be. 

They are so pretty.....aren't they?

A cottage bouquet

A collage from the cottage with the roses in

bloom in the background.

I will have to share some garden pics soon,

the delphiniums, daylillies,phlox and

hydrangeas are all getting ready to

bloom now.

Thanks for visiting,

Carolyn
