Aqua Coastal Tablescape

   Hello everyone,

       I hope your summer is going well.

             As for me, I am enjoying some relaxing

summer days .

  

     My granddaughter Jessica and

       I thought it would be fun to have

an afternoon tea by the sea.

We used an aqua theme as we both

love aqua.

                                                                          A new enamelware teapot.

A cute aqua lantern and some starfish

added some charm to our table.

                                                             In the evening a cruise ship went by
                                                             and some fluffy clouds rolled in but
                                                             alas no rain. We are having a much drier
                                                             July than usual.

   So, I apologize for now posting

more often this summer but

        a little relaxation is a good thing! 

Thank you for visiting!

Mid July in the Garden

           Hello everyone,

      I hope you are enjoying your summer.

It has been hot and dry here lately so

I am hoping for a nice rain soon.

However, the garden is still doing

well for now.

                                                                  There are lots of roses in bloom.

                                                                       The virginia creeper is starting
                                                                        to cover the north end of our barn

                                                               I always look forward to the tall, stately blooms of
                                                                our delphiniums.

                                                                Delphiniums,peonies and nepeta

                                                                  I love the six hills giant nepeta along all
                                                                  along the inside edges of our Allee Garden.

We have several mockoranges blooming

now and they have a wonderful scent.

                                                                 Roses and delphiniums in our Chelsea Garden.

                                                                      Lavender and roses in my little
                                                                      memory garden for my Mom.

                                                        So just a few highlights of our garden
                                                                   in mid July. I hope you enjoyed the
                                                                    quick tour today. Our daylillies are
                                                                    starting their show now and we probably
                                                                    have about 200 of them spread around the
                                                                    garden and the phlox will follow shortly.

                                                                                         Thank you for stopping by!
