It's Lilac Time !



          Hi everyone,

I hope you are enjoying  this
first weekend of summer.

Our lilacs are in full bloom now
and I am enjoying lots
of bouquets.




We  have several different varieties
in different colors..I have forgotten
the name of these pink ones but they
make a lovely addition to my tea time.



They are all very fragrant no matter
which variety.

This vintage cocoa pot
makes a perfect vase
for lilacs.


It is a much better year for lilacs
this year then last summer.
You can see the common lilac in
the background from my husband's
grandmother's homestead is loaded
with blooms.




With lilac season soon coming to a 
close the peonies are getting ready
to put on their show next.

I hope you enjoy the rest of
your weekend and thank you
for taking the time to visit me.

Take care,
Carolyn

Garden Blues




  Hello everyone,

Another June week is almost over and
our garden seems to have the blues.
The weather has been lovely lately and
the garden is ever changing.




This has been my best year
ever for alliums. I have been
spreading their seeds around
the garden and it seems they
are really catching on!

I love these easy care plants.

                                                                   It is lupin season here as
                                                                   well with some in our garden
                                                                   and lots more growing wild
                                                                  around our country roads.
Lilac season is also here
and I am enjoying their
beauty and fragrance.


I love this time of the year with
so much beauty everywhere.
                                             Just a quick peek at our garden
                                                      today but much more to come!

                                                                          Thanks for your visit,

                                                                                       Carolyn
