A Touch of Blue

By // No comments:



Hello everyone,

Although summer has slipped into autumn
we are still enjoying some time at our little
cottage .


Laundry day at .the cottage

It's hammock time. I bought this hammock
at the seventy mile yardsale last Saturday
along with a few other treasures.....always
a fun day for me!

We are still picking away at making the cottage
our own little escape.
This is the bunkie that our grandchildren love
and have claimed as their own.
I painted the door and  new shutters
Aspiring Blue by Behr paint.
We have been shingling the bunkie
and added the window on the back
and changed the window on the side.
The window on the back is an old
french door  going sideways.
I planted a couple of clematis and
a climbing hydranges to grow up
the trellis.


We had a heavy frost last night so our
cottage days will soon be coming to a
close for this season. However, I do
have friends coming for tea tomorrow
and we still have  a few little projects
to finish here and I still have a few more
garden tours back home with visitors
from Japan before the garden season
comes to a close and it will be time
to clean up the garden before the cold
sets in.

Thank you for visiting!
Carolyn





Hammock Days

By // No comments:



Hello everyone,

While spring has arrived here and the
garden is coming to life, a little more
each day I am not lazing around in
a hammock just yet! However, I 
am looking forward to some hammock
days in the garden soon.
I love the Jackmani superbra 
clematis above and below.


A vintage quilt for comfort on the
hammock by our pond with the
Boathouse in the distance.



A great spot to enjoy the view of the garden
but also enjoy the sound of our
babbling brook in the woods behind.

Iced tea, anyone?



Or maybe lemonade? This was taken in
our Chelsea Garden.

It is so peaceful here by
the pond in early autumn.

Even in winter a hammock with
a warm blanket is enjoyable with
a cup of hot cocoa.

                                                But, I must admit summer is my
                                                          favorite time to enjoy hammock
                                                          time with a good book.

                                                           We have all our garden beds raked off
                                                           so time now to pull some weeds and prune
                                                           all my annebelle hydrangeas,clematis etc.
                                                           Soon I will divide and move a few plants
                                                           around the garden before they get too big.
                                                         
                                                            I love this time of year with so much promise
                                                             for great things to come....don't you?

                                                            In a few weeks our Japanese tours will be
                                                            starting again so there is lots to get done.

                                                                For those who asked we will have a couple of
                                                               Open Garden days for anyone local who would
                                                              like to check out our gardens in the summer.

                                                                                          Thank you for visiting!
