Hello again,

It is another beautiful sunny warm day

here and I am happy to say that my husband

 and I have finished our garden cleanup.

It is always a good feeling to get it done

before the cold weather sets in.

Anyway, I was looking through some

of my photos and saw these shots of our

kitchen at Ocean Song Cottage that we

did a bit of a makeover on in the last year

or so.....anew window,countertop,sink,and

some new to us cupboards

We are still doing little projects here at a more leisurely pace

while we enjoy our time here.

Yesterday, I found these pretty vintage dishes

at the thrift store

 

I love this pretty gift bag that came with some 

lovely tea treats......thanks Barbara!

I cut a small bouquet of hydrangeas from

one of my shrubs yesterday .They have

taken on their fall colors

I couldn't resist playing with my

pretty new china for awhile

I am not sure yet if I will use them

or display them on a wall

Well, it is so lovely out here I think I

will so for a sea glass hunt before the

season for my walks on the beach

comes to a close for another year

Thanks for your visit today .

Take care,

Carolyn

Autumn Beauty

Hello everyone,

What an amazing day we had here today.....

sunny and warm perfect for our fall

garden cleanup.

It would have been perfect for a fall picnic as well

but alas duty calls.

The picnic above was from a few years ago.

We often pass by this beautiful farmhouse going

to and from our home and cottage.

It looks especially pretty with fall foliage and

a reflection in the water.

Last week on our trip down east I took

these  photos that show the beauty of

autumn on the Island.

Before starting our fall cleanup in the garden

I took a few shots of the autumn beauty in

our garden.

It was a pleasure to be out there enjoying the

beautiful day as we cut down all the

perennials in the beds and hauled the top

foliage to the compost pile.

So far, this year we have not had a killing

frost so even the annuals are still

looking good in pots etc.

Last year by this time we had a hard

frost already.

This was taken last year on one of our walks

through the woods.

Our pond has taken on it's fall colors too.

Well that is a little peek at some of the 

beauty that we are enjoying here now.

I want to make the most of it as all too

soon the leaves will fall and we will

be into November~ time flies doesn't it!

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn
