Hammock Days

Hello everyone,

I am back today with a hammock theme.

I love winter shots of our hammock

as much as the summer ones.

I am not sure about you.....maybe you

only enjoy summer hammocks.

                                                          A snowy winter day

A touch of red 

An early morning shot with a mist

on the pond.

A vintage quilt to add color to

the hammock.

An early autumn day

A good place to enjoy the beauty

of the garden.

                                      A shady spot to enjoy a book and a cool drink.

Summer days by the sea.

Well, that is all my hammock shots for today.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

A Touch of the Blues

Hello everyone,

As some of you probably know

I am a fan of blue and white so

that is my theme for today.

   A chintz tea set with blue hydrangeas

     in a flow blue pitcher that belonged to

my grandparents.

A closer look at my flow blue

pictures that were a wedding

gift to my grandparents.

A little bit of  Dutch with an

antique blue and white pitcher.

Some blue and white thrift finds.

I love this pretty blue and white

tablecloth.

A  corner in our cottage....good

for curling up with a book.

    We have had this chaise for several

       years. I recovered the cushions recently

       but would love to paint the chaise white.

       Does anyone have any suggestions on the

           best way to paint this so that it doesn't chip?

            The arms on it are especially shiny so I think

                   they will need some sanding and then I wondered

            about using chalk paint on it.....unless anyone

has a better idea?

       My thoughts and prayers are with all who

suffered such loss and devastation from

Hurricane Ida. I can't imagine all the

destruction and sadly even loss of life.

Also for those in western Canada and

the western parts of U.S who are also

suffering such damage and loss from

wildfires.

Take good care and thanks

for visiting.

Red Plaid Winter Hammock

Sunday Blessings,

It is a snowy wintry day here as another

winter system passes over the Island.

It was still nice out for a walk earlier

in the day and when I came back

I thought it was another pretty day

for another hammock photo shoot~

this time using a red plaid theme.

I think when the snow stops later today

those old snowshoes might be fun to use.

A plaid thermos and an enamelware mug

with hand knit mitts should warm things up.

This old hammock has been here for years

and the hooks have actually grown into the

tree, so it is now permanent!

                                          Well, it is time for me to warm up
                                                   by the fire with my hot cup of tea.

                                                           Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday!

                                                                                                 Carolyn

A Winter Hammock Day

           Hello everyone,

Well, we did get quite a bit of snow here

a couple of days ago so it

is a winter wonderland now for sure.

I mentioned in my last post that I

wanted to do a quick photo shoot

of my outdoor hammock.

So, a couple of throws and

a few pillows and my old pair

of skates and I was good to go.

The trees were laden and there was a good

cover of snow in the woods.

I am loving our winter here this

year as we can still enjoy long

walks outdoors in the fresh air

without getting too cold.

My husband and I have had a

goal to walk 10,000 steps

a day as a healthy choice for

a couple of years now.

                                          Now, I don't think I will nap out
                                                   here anytime soon but I did enjoy
                                                   my little photo shoot in the snow.


                                                                              Thank you for visiting!

                                                                                                       Carolyn

Seaside Hammock Days

Happy Friday!

We had some lovely summer days here at Ocean Song Cottage

this week and so it was a good time to relax with a good book

and enjoy some hammock time while listening to the waves lap

on the beach.

                                                                    A pretty bouquet of peonies , a glass of lemonade
                                                                     and my book and I am set for a relaxing afternoon
                                                                     at the cottage.

Pretty pillows and a blue throw make the hammock

comfy and cosy.

On another note  this beautiful bouquet is just a reminder of

our 'Open Garden' this Sunday afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m

The peonies are still blooming and I am hoping they can

hold out until at least Sunday!

I did get out of the hammock and do some weeding

in the garden for you!

Take care,

Carolyn

The Beauty of Winter

                                                               Hello everyone,

                                               Yesterday it snowed pretty much all
                                                day and created a beautiful winter
                                                wonderland. The sun was shining
                                               on the sparking white snow and the
                                                trees had a lovely white coat as well.
                                               So, I was happy to grab my camera
                                                and get out to enjoy the beauty.
                                                  I brought out a warm throw and
                                               a few pillows for the old hammock
                                               in the garden in case you wanted to
                                               take a few moments to relax and enjoy
                                               the beauty of winter.

                                                      I love when we get snow and no
                                                      wind so all the tress are covered.

                                                   

                                                        Our little Boathouse in winter

                                                 The snow was gently falling from the
                                                  tree where I was standing giving a
                                                  little snowy effect.

                                        This shot was taken in early winter but
                                                 it is one of my favorites so I included
                                                 it again.

                                                  I hope you have a wonderful weekend
                                                  and thanks for visiting me on this beautiful
                                                  winter day here on Prince Edward Island.

                                                                                Take care.
