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.

                                                     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

                                                     

                                                   

Pretty Flower Garden Bouquets

Hello everyone,

Today, I am enjoying going back and looking

at some of my old photos and I decided to

do some different themes  for a few weeks.

I hope you will enjoy them!

Therse Bugnet roses

Yellow enamelware and daffodils

look like spring!

Tulips are a favorite bouquet...

love that we can but them now

in our local stores.

Roses and tea

Beautiful color

Of course, I love my lilac bouquets

A pretty teacup and a small

bouquet of hydrangeas

A bouquet of viburnum snowballs and allium Sensation

Lots of beautiful lilacs

Beautiful roses

spring flowers from our garden

A beautiful big bouquet of peonies

I hope these bouquets bring you

a little joy on this winter day!

I am thinking cozy winter teas

will be my next theme.

If you have a request for

a particular theme please

leave me a comment and

I will do my best!

Take care,

Carolyn

Mellow Yellow

Hello everyone,

On this sunny winter day I am sharing

some of my sunny mellow yellow

photos . These were taken over the years

that I have been blogging so it is

a yellow theme day today.

A sunny Easter Tea in our little sunroom.

Love these yellow Celebration roses from

David Austen with the pretty tea cup.

Yellow flag iris around the pond

look pretty.

A beautiful yellow peony was added to

my collection of peonies a few years ago.

A beautiful yellow heritage home with

a tea setting.

Some pretty handmade quilts add to

a tea time in our terrace.

Yellow always looks so cheerful.

I will end with my pretty teacup again.

I hope you enjoy my themed posts as I

am going to do a blue and white

theme next. I will have lots to

choose from there as I could

probably do a whole book

on blue and white.

Thank you for your visit!

Take care,

Carolyn

Happy weekend!

heads up but I enjoy

looking forward a bit.

spring garden.

                                              the best!

Clematis and delphiniums are in

my top ten garden favs.

                                                I do love purple and blues in
