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





Summer Blues

By // No comments:




Hello everyone!

I hope you are enjoying lovely summer
days.

With the arrival of summer beach days
are a favorite for many of us Islanders.

                                                                                 








                                                                          Blue and white cottage.   



Summertime tea

Relaxing by the seaside.




Garden blues are a summer favorite
for me as well.
I do love delphiniums!

The old blue garden shed


                    Love these rich purple blues!

This blue arbor stands out in the garden.
My husband built this arbor and gate a 
few years ago.



                                                                 Summery blue tea and scones
                                                                 in the garden.
                                               Well, time to relax now with a
                                                           good book as the waves lap
                                                           gently on the shore and listen
                                                           to the occasional cry of the seagulls.....
                                                           ah! perfection!!!

                                                                       Take care,

                                                                             Carolyn
