Summer Blues





Hello everyone!

I hope you are enjoying lovely summer
days.

With the arrival of summer beach days
are a favorite for many of us Islanders.

                                                                                 








                                                                          Blue and white cottage.   



Summertime tea

Relaxing by the seaside.




Garden blues are a summer favorite
for me as well.
I do love delphiniums!


A summer garden tea

The old blue garden shed


                    Love these rich purple blues!

This blue arbor stands out in the garden.
My husband built this arbor and gate a 
few years ago.



                                                                 Summery blue tea and scones
                                                                 in the garden.
                                               Well, time to relax now with a
                                                           good book as the waves lap
                                                           gently on the shore and listen
                                                           to the occasional cry of the seagulls.....
                                                           ah! perfection!!!

                                                                       Take care,

                                                                             Carolyn

Welcome Summer!


                                                                   

                                                                        Hello everyone!

                                              Summer is my favorite season here on the
                                              Prince Edward Island so I am happy it has
                                              arrived. Our temperatures have been cooler
                                              but by midweek summer temperatures are
                                              going to arrive.

                                              I love the summery shot (above) that I took at our
                                              daughter's cottage that it right next to ours. It was
                                              a fixer upper and they did an amazing job on it.
                                                Hopefully, soon I can share some photos of the
                                             before and after.
                                         
It is lupin season here on the Island so there are
lots of these summer beauties going wild on the
roadsides here.




I love the lupins in our garden as well.
The early peonies are in bloom now too.
I  Picked some rhododendrons for a
small bouquet.


The Deutizas are in full bloom in our
little secret garden.

                                                                 We went for a drive down east
                                                                  on the weekend and I had to stop
                                                                  for this summer shot.

Fort Amherst park overlooking
the Charlottetown Harbour.

Relax and enjoy!

                                          This year we are having our annual open garden
                                                    on Wednesday, July 11th from 6 to 8 so if
                                                    you would like to come and wander the garden
                                                   come along and bring a friend or two if you like.

                                                                                Happy Summer!
