Welcome Spring!

Welcome Spring!

I am always excited to welcome spring!

We had a milder winter with
hardly any snow this year so most Islanders
were happy with that...all but outdoor winter
sports fans anyway.

Soon, I will be making daily checks around the
garden to see what is starting to show signs of
life. Our spring here tends to drag out a bit and
we often get an early spring snowfall or two,
but still we know spring is on the way!

Little bouquets of tulips

brighten our dining table.

are ready for an afternoon

tea time.

tranferware tureen and covered

bowl.

I love bright and sunny days with
the sun streaming in.

I am looking forward to lots of

spring color in our garden soon!

Happy Spring!

In the Garden

On May 24, 2017 By // No comments:

Hello everyone,

We have been busy in the garden lately

but always enjoy the beauty of my

surroundings and all the activity and

song from the many birds in our garden.

It is such a beautiful time of

the year !

I love peony tulips as they make quite

a statement in the spring garden.

Our Boathouse in the background.

The forget me nots are filling in

the space between the daffodils

and tulips.

We had a lot of drizzle yesterday

but in the evening the sun popped

out for a bit as well giving us a

beautiful rainbow.

The garden is filling in nicely and

we have spread compost over many

of the beds.

Fritillaria Meleagris or

Snakehead Fritillary makes

a nice statement in the garden.

It is still early days in our garden but

soon it will be lilac season here.

It is a beautiful sunny day here today
so you will find me in the garden!

Enjoy your day!

Tea in the Sunroom

On May 16, 2017 By // No comments:

Hello everyone,

Spring is a perfect time to have

afternoon tea in our little sunroom.

When the temperature is a little

cool out in the garden the sunroom

is the next best place.

It is still to early to put my annuals

out so they are enjoying the shelter

of our sunroom.

I love birdhouses and am always

on the lookout for a unique one.

I gave the sunroom a touch up

of fresh paint.

A pretty bouquet from the garden
was my inspiration for my china
today......I love the apricot roses
on the teapot and teacups.

It was a cool damp day here today
so I took a break from gardening
...... but I am happy to say there are
warm sunny days on the way starting
tomorrow so I can don my gardening
clothes once again.
Thank you for visiting!

Coming Soon !

On April 20, 2017 By // No comments:

Hello everyone,

Although it has been cooler here the past

few days the garden is growing daily.

At this time of year there is a lot of

brown in the garden but in my minds

eye I am seeing the beauty that is

coming soon!

I love the riot of color that early

spring brings each year.

Our hillside garden is a mass of daffodils

every spring.

It doesn't take long for the

ground to be covered with

perennials of all kinds.

A watering can filled with a

fresh bouquet of colorful

tulips.

This is one of my favorite
spring shots.

This enclosed garden called
Martha's Garden is a favorite
spring spot to have tea or lunch
in the garden as it is sheltered.

So, how is your garden doing?
I hope you are enjoying some
warm sunny days with lots of
promise for beauty to come....soon!

Thank you for visiting and for
your lovely comments on my last post.
