Late Garden Season Color




Hello everyone

We are still enjoying beautiful warm
weather here and have not had a heavy
frost here yet so the garden still has some
late season color.

The Japanese barberry looks good with the
pee gee hydrangea.

The burning bushes are starting to turn
brilliant red in various places in our
garden.


There is still a few blooms on the clematis.

I love to see some roses still putting on
a little show.


The Sweet Autumn Clematis is just starting
to bloom and it blooms very prolifically
with small white fragrant blooms.




We have over a dozen large hydrangea shrubs
blooming in the garden.

Fading blooms on the Polaris rose bush.

It was just a quick look at some of the late
season color in our garden today.

I enjoyed my treasure hunt at the 70 mile
yard sale but didn't bring home as many
treasures as I have in the past but I did
get a few pretties that I will share with
you later. 

I hope your week is going well!

Tea and Roses




            Hello everyone,

    It is a beautiful sunny day here today
and it is predicted to be warm and sunny
for the next several days which is a good
thing as we are expecting our good friends
Linda & Midge
from NFLD for a  few days and on Sat.
I have a  lovely wedding to go to plus this
Saturday is the 70  mile yard sale.
The 70 mile coastal yard sale is always a
fun event with so many treasures
big and small to  enjoy.


I picked a small bouquet of Polaris roses
from our garden as they are putting on
a late show.
Polaris is one of my favorite roses in
our garden as they are hardy,bloom well and
they are pretty shades of pink before turning
white.




Love this pretty aqua teacup with
the vintage tablecloth with roses.


I recently found this chintz teacup
at our local thrift shop and since
I don't often see chintz here I
grabbed it.

                                                        Well, it is time for our morning walk
                                                                   so a little sea glass hunt on the beach
                                                                   and then a walk in the park to see the
                                                                   four big cruise ships that are in the
                                                                   Charlottetown harbor today..

                                                                  So, don't forget the 70 mile coastal yard sale
                                                                   Saturday and Sunday if you love
                                                                    treasure hunting, but there will be
                                                                   lots of traffic on the main roads so
                                                                   please drive carefully.
                                                                            On another note the Downton
                                                                  Abbey movie we have been waiting for is
                                                                  here now and I am looking forward to
                                                                  seeing it with some friends.

                                                                                   

                                                                                               

                                                                    Yesterday's photo of one of the
                                                                     three  cruises hips that came in
                                                                     taken by my husband with his phone.

                                                                                         Enjoy your day!
