My Indoor Garden





Hello everyone,

Here on the Island  winter does
not want to let go just yet as
we are getting several inches
of snow.

The good news is it will melt soon
into the ground and there is lots
of perennials poking up.....
more and more each day.





So for now I will enjoy my little
indoor garden.


A lemon scented geranium has
lots of dainty blooms and the
leaves are very fragrant.


I have had this statue for many years
now and she adds charm to the
library where these plants
enjoy the southern light.
                                                                 

Did you notice my new blue chintz teacup
and the dark blue teapot(a gift from
my sister in law).




It is a hearty soup kind of a
day here today and I have
a batch of scones in the oven.

Looking forward to some
spring weather though...soon!

Thanks for visiting me,

Carolyn

Shades of Purple




Welcome April !

I am always happy to welcome April
as the days are longer and the garden
is showing lots of signs of life. Also,
I love seeing more songbirds in the
garden......Oh! good things are
coming!




                                                          Shades of purple are the theme of
                                                          the day. Right now we are still in
                                                           the brown(mud) phase of the year
                                                          so I am craving color.





A splash of color




I love purple /blue in the garden


I can't wait to set up the porch for
spring again.



Of course I have to have some
purple transferware. I don't
see it often around here but
I always snap it up when I do.




Before we know it, lupin season
will be here. I love going for a
drive and seeing it growing wild
along our country roads.



Who doesn't love a bouquet of
lilacs.....I know I do!
                                                                                   

I will end with a cup of tea in
the sunroom.

I hope you enjoy the rest of
your weekend!

Thanks for visiting,

Carolyn
