Garden Bouquets

Hello everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying these early days 

of spring. I am happy to see life in the garden

again as I do my daily rounds to see the what

has poked up overnight. I am amazed at how

quickly the snow left and daffodils,tulips and 

some perennials are growing. Also, our pond

is rapidly opening up and our pair of Canada

 Geese have returned. So much to look forward

too!

I am sharing some garden bouquets to brighten

your day.

Lupin bouquet

Therese Bugnet hardy roses

Who doesn't love a bouquet of roses even

if they are not from the garden.

Lilacs and tulips

soon it will be time for our lilacs

to bloom here again.

Lilacs and lupins make a pretty combo.

                                                                   

                                                     Peonies are an all time favorite.

Sunshine and daffodils

Lilacs and transferware

Wishing you all a happy spring!

Take care,

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

Blue & White Tea with Lilacs

Hello everyone,

The lilacs are coming into full bloom

here and I am enjoying picking

little bouquets to enjoy indoors.

I was delighted to get a copy of this

beautiful Blue & White book by

Victoria.....especially since there

is a little feature of our garden in it.

If you love blue and white I am

sure you will love this book too!

Pretty linens,china and a bouquet

I do love blue and white in all shades.

The tulips are from our cottage garden,

so pretty with the lilacs.

Love this little covered dish from Bombay.

I hope you take time to enjoy

a cup of tea.

Our tickets are going well for

our afternoon tea for the Ukraine,

but still a few left if you are interested.

There is more info on the previous post,

if you would like to check it out.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
