Yellow Garden Roses

Happy Monday!

I hope you are enjoying the

start of a new week as August

is quickly slipping away.

I love these David Austen English

roses as well as this pretty teacup.

The teacup is Rose Cameo Peach

by Royal Albert.

Still picking fresh blueberries

from our garden.

I enjoyed them in my breakfast

smoothie this morning.

Golden Celebration Rose is pretty

hardy in our zone 5b garden.

                           Well, I am supposed to be out deadheading

                                     in our garden so I better get back to work!

                                                       Thank you for visiting,

                                                                  Carolyn

Seaside Blue & White Tea

Hello everyone,

We are enjoying these beautiful

summer days here on the Island.

    It has been hot so the ocean breezes

are just what we need to stay cool.

I decided to have our tea today

by the water so we can

enjoy the view as well

as the breeze.

I am using blue & white

as my tea theme for today.

I love these Spode teacups.

This has been a great year for

blue hydrangeas but as much

as I love them I haven't had

a lot of blooms on mine so

I am a little envious of the

many shrubs that I see on

our drives in other peoples

gardens .

Anyway, I decided to make the

best of it by making a small

bouquet and photographing

them 100 different ways to

enjoy them all season!

We are enjoying the blueberries

from our highbush blueberry

bushes in our garden.

You can pick your favorite teacup.

I made a batch of blueberry scones 

for us to enjoy with our tea today. 

I hope you enjoyed our

seaside tea today.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

A Summer Garden Tea

Hello everyone,

It has been hot here lately so it is

a good time to enjoy tea in the garden,

especially in a  nice shady spot.

So today we are enjoying our

afternoon tea in our garden

terrace. The terrace is covered

with virginia creeper which

makes it shady and cooler.

Shades of pink for our

tea today.

A pretty pink quilt covers the

table and of course I picked

some flowers from the garden

for bouquets.

I love these garden chairs that I

bought at Winner's several years

ago.

I almost forgot we to bring out

some sweet treats for our tea.

                                                               I hope you are enjoying your summer.

                                                                    Thank you for joining me for tea

                                                                    in the garden today.

                                                                              Carolyn

 

Beauty in the Garden

Hello  everyone,

  It has been awhile since I posted and summer

here is passing by quickly.

The garden has been doing well and  it has

lots of color right now.

The phlox is blooming now and I have

many varieties in all different colors.

The annebelle hydrangeas are blooming now

as well and over the years I have divided and

moved them around the garden.....you can

never have too many hydrangeas!

The daylilies are still blooming,adding

lots of color.

Clematis on the arbor that my

husband built.

    Sunshine and daylilies.....so pretty!

Audrey is watching over

the garden.

A good place to sit and

relax for a bit.

The allee garden arbor is covered with

a grapevine and a clematis. It looks a bit

wild but I love an overgrown look.

I hope you are enjoying some beautiful

summer days  wherever you are!

Take care,

Carolyn
