Sunday Garden Visit

Hello everyone,

Before we say goodbye to our colorful

spring garden I have a few more garden

shots I wanted to share.

While we are still enjoying tulips
and daffodils in our garden the show
is quickly changing as the lilacs are
blooming here now and the garden
is full of their fragrance.

A spring bouquet for our
kitchen.

Linger over tea?

We are still working on painting our
house on sunny days and I am liking the
new look...I will show you when it is done.
Yesterday was a rainy day so I got a chance to
go to a plant sale and a few garden centers ~
it is always interesting to see all the new
possibilities and pick up some new plants
for our garden.

Have a lovely peaceful Sunday!

Pond Reflections

Happy Weekend!

It is getting lush and green around the

pond now and the crabapple trees are

blooming.

We have a pair of Canada geese nesting
at the pond this year and they now have 6
little goslings.

We enjoy watching them.

Relax for awhile!

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Cheerful Garden Vignettes

Hello everyone!

It was a bright sunny day here so

I got up early and went out to the

garden to capture some of the beauty.

I was excited to find this old

dresser at the 70 mile yard sale

last year as I knew I would love it

in our garden.

Some colorful tulips.

A bouquet of tulips in an old

transferware pitcher with a

cement angel from Winner's.

I more photos to share for another
day.

Hope you are enjoying the season!

Bright and Perky

Hello everyone,

It is a cool damp day here today so

I was happy to stay indoors for

most of the day.

Happy to have some bright and
perky color to enjoy.

This hydrangea was kept in the basement
for the winter and was blooming shortly
after I took it up and started watering it.
I love the plum color.

Tulips from the garden.

And for tea some pretty china.

Hoping it is warm and sunny where

you are!

Relaxing in the Boathouse

Hello everyone,

Whenever, I have time these days my favorite place

to go and relax with a tea and a book is our little

boathouse.

Even though it is a short stroll through the

garden to the pond and boathouse it feels

like a little getaway.

The boathouse is furnished with
yard sale and thrift finds etc.
The old door was a $5 find and adds
charm to this corner.

The china is also thrift finds.
I love the teapot..... also $5.

The conservatory on the south
is nice and sunny.

Looking down from the loft.

So, if you can't find me in the garden
there is a good chance I am taking a
little break in the boathouse.

If you would like to see more of the
Boathouse click here.

It is cool and damp here so no
painting today but the garden is
calling my name!

I am joining these tea parties today:

Bernideen's Tea Time Blog.
Rose Chintz Cottage.
Antiques and Teacups.

Enjoy your day!
