Cottage Style by Victoria and I !!!!

                      Hello everyone,

                        I hope you all had a great weekend.

                             As many of you know I have been a fan

                         of the Victoria magazine since it first

                                   came out over 30 years ago and have stacks

                          of issues that I can't seem to part with

                       and enjoy going through all the old

                             issues from time to time. So, I have to

                           confess it has been a long time dream

                              to have our garden featured in Victoria.

                               So, a couple of years ago I was delighted

                                 when that dream came true in the May/

June issue 2017.

                         However, I was even more delighted

                      when I received a copy of Victoria's

            Cottage Style to see our little

                             Gardener's Cottage featured on the cover

                                   and our garden on the back cover along with

                               several pages inside. Thank you, Victoria!

Cottage Style is

out on the shelves

now so you can

check it out.

Enjoy it over a cup of tea!

   And speaking of cottages we enjoyed

some time at our little seaside cottage

this weekend.

Our daffodils are blooming now so

I enjoyed my first bouquet of the

season.

It was a foggy morning at the cottage

so all you can see is fog in this shot

out the window but inside my tea set

is ready for tea time!

Thank you for visiting and I hope

you have a great week.

In the Garden

               Hello everyone,

       We have been busy in the garden lately

but always enjoy the beauty of my

   surroundings and all the activity and

         song from the many birds in our garden.

It is such a beautiful time of

the year !

                                                                               

  I love peony tulips as they make quite

a statement in the spring garden.

     Our Boathouse in the background.

The forget me nots are filling in

the space between the daffodils

and tulips.

We had a lot of drizzle yesterday

but in the evening the sun popped

out for a bit as well giving us a

beautiful rainbow.

          The garden is filling in nicely and

              we have spread  compost over many

of the beds.

Fritillaria Meleagris or

Snakehead Fritillary makes

    a nice statement in the garden.

It is still early days in our garden but

soon it will be lilac season here.

                                                      It is a beautiful sunny day here today
                                                                 so you will find me in the garden!

                                                                                Enjoy your day!
