Random Beauty

Hello everyone,
    I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I am not even going to mention that it was cold and damp here most of the weekend or that the sun has not peeked out yet today either. I had a few lovely visitors to the garden on Saturday and got some pruning tips etc. from a master gardener-pruning is not one of my strong suits.
  Today,I did not have a theme to share but I hope you will enjoy some collages I made.The appleblossoms are beautiful this year.

Some of the older homes in Charlottetown. The trees were just coming out last week when I took these shots-everything is so fresh and green now.
Some blues in our garden.
We took a drive around the countryside to enjoy the beauty of the Island as the crops are going in and it is such a pretty time of year. Did I mention that I love June? I do hope we get the promised sunshine this afternoon. My lilacs are starting to bloom so I will have to show them to you soon!

I hope you have a lovely day,

Carolyn/

Gentle Pinks



Hello everyone,

          I hope you are enjoying the sunshine, as it seems to have escaped us again, and it is remaining cool also.As a gardener, I love how long the blossoms are lasting though. Last spring was a lot warmer, and drier ,and the blooms did not last half as long as this year. So it is true, behind every cloud there is a silver lining!
   I have a few soft pinks to share with you for Pink Saturday.
The appleblossoms are so pretty right now- I love to see the wild ones blooming in the hedgerows along the farm fields.
This rose impatients is just so pretty.
The pansy looks so charming in the pretty planter my sister sent me. It came from Ikea in Vancouver.
We have had a few sunny warm days,--  here that meant it was time for the pink lemonade .



I am joining Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for PS again today and also Haken for Show off Saturday at The Rose Garden in Malevik.

Thank you to all of you who left such sweet comments on our garden photos being included in the Summer book from Norway -you are always so supportive!

I hope you all have a wonderful relaxing weekend,

Carolyn
