Peony Time

Peony Time

Hello everyone,

It has been a long time since I posted but

I wanted to share my peonies with you today.

Our garden is thriving with the heat and rain.

Our peonies are still blooming but

not for much longer.

I picked enough to make several bouquets.

Peonies and pretty china

I have many different varieties of peonies.

How is your garden doing?

Well, this is all for now but hopefully I

will pop back in again soon.

Take care,

Carolyn

Relax and Enjoy

Hello everyone,

Spring is moving along here as the

garden is already giving us some

pretty blooms.

I will share some photos of it soon

but in the meantime lets relax

and enjoy some beauty.

                                                 

Looking forward to dining outdoors again soon!

Picnic days are so relaxing!

Love hammock time on a sunny summer day.

The chaise in our sunroom is a good

place to enjoy tea time in early spring.

Spring time tea.

On a hot summer day the screened porch

is a good place to relax and enjoy

looking out over the garden.

Going green! I still love old wicker

in the garden....don't you?

                                                   Love being surrounded by flowers.

                                               Hope to be back with some new pics

                                               soon.

                                                             Thank you for visiting!

A Mix of Blue and White

                                                            Hello everyone,

                                              How are you doing....well I hope.

                                              Today, I have a mix of blue & white 

                                              share. I tried not to make it all about

                                              my blue and white china but I confess

                                              lots of blue and white china pics kept 

                                              popping up on me.

                                               I love my Spode china above.  

Tea in bed anyone?

                                               the rose hedge all out in bloom.

                                                                 Tea party time! 

Blue and white hydrangeas look

so pretty on this tablescape.

A summer tea on the porch

                                                 Is there anything prettier than a

                                                  blue and white tablescape?

A softer shade of blue and white

Relaxation time

Back to the garden for tea time.

                                                         Ocean Song Cottage blues.

                                                         I am not sure what my next theme 

                                                         is but I have a list to work through.

                                                                           Thank you for visiting,

                                                                                          Carolyn

A Look Back at the Garden

Hello everyone,

I really enjoy looking back at our garden

over previous years in the winter.

I hope you will enjoy a stroll through as

well.

This is shot from the balcony looking down

to the west in late spring/early summer.

                                                                   A border in June.

I always loved this arbor that my husband built

several years ago.....sadly when Fiona whipped

through a couple of years ago it was demolished

but my husband has built another one without

the gate......but coming soon!

The garden is so colorful in August.

Lilacs are always a favorite.

As are peonies and roses.

A misty morn in the garden

                                                     I am looking forward to getting

                                                     back out there but first I will

                                                     enjoy winter!

                                                        Lilac time

                                                  Alliums are so pretty and so easy to

                                                  care for as they spread around the garden. 

                                                  I have thousands more pics of the garden

                                                  but I am sure you have had enough for one day!

                                                                             Take care,

                                                                                  Carolyn
