Pretty Garden Bouquets

                 Happy Friday!

It is a very wet and windy day here today so there won't be any gardening

going on this morning. I do have a big bouquet of beautiful pink double French

lilacs though to enjoy on our kitchen table in an old transferware pitcher.

This will probably be the last of my French lilac bouquets for the season

so we better enjoy them while we can. Our Canadian Preston lilacs are just

starting to bloom now and they are beautiful as well and have a lovely fragrance too.

             

                                                                          

                                                               

                                               

                                                                   

There are still some Sensation

  lilacs in bloom as well.....so pretty!

                                                                            Buckets of blooms on the porch.

                                                                     The lupins are in full bloom now
                                                                                and you will find them blooming
                                                                                 in fields and ditches all along our
                                                                                 country roads. I love them!

There are buckets of rain coming down now but the sunshine  returns tomorrow

so the garden we be thriving. So far our temperatures are staying a little below

normal for this time of year  and enough rain to keep our Island lush and green.

I hope you have a beautiful weekend!

Lilac Bouquets in the Boathouse

I am back with more lilac bouquets

as the season is almost over for the

French  lilacs so I need to capture

their beauty while I can.

The Boathouse always looks

pretty with some bouquets

placed around to enjoy.

                                                              The little conservatory at
                                                              the back gets lots of light
                                                              so it is a good place to take
                                                              photos even on a cloudy day.

Sensation lilacs and a snipet

of azalea blossoms.

Did you notice that the Sensation

lilacs are purple edged in white?

The pink lilacs in the foreground

are not as common around here,

but I love them too!

I love this old cupboard/small dresser

that I got at a yardsale a few years ago~

I think it is perfect for the Boathouse.

      Time for tea anyone?

Hope you have a great day!
