Hello everyone, Well with summer almost over for another year I thought I would show you what the garden looks like now. It has a faded beauty now but if you don't look too close it still looks pretty good I think. It is the hydrangeas that are giving me the enjoyment now but the phlox is still adding color. The virginia creeper will soon turn red and then lose it's leaves for another year. The virginia creeper on the house has run a bit rampant but still I love it. We have had a lot of rain in the past few weeks so the grass is lush and green again. The Gardener's Cottage Our pond. A cute little bumble bee in our garden. And here's looking at you!!! Oh,Noah you make me laugh. I am joining My Romantic Home for Show & Tell Friday. Thank you for visiting, Carolyn

Peruvian-born sculptor Emil Alzamora has created a series of abstract works of the human form which actually give the viewer an idea of how the piece is "feeling". Using materials such as ceramic, concrete and bronze, his featureless figures seem to actually convey their "emotions" to the viewer through their positioning and general design. Creepy!

Into the Green source I've been pinning away ideas for my backyard space all winter. All these images are inspiration for my own space. Well, maybe not those moss covered chairs but aren't they delightful? source Hostas...perfect for the shady backyard. source Someday I'd like to remove my back deck and replace it with a stacked stone patio like this. source a lower patio like this source I want this for my side patio. I know this must be a garden center but pots of boxwoods...that would transform my backyard because they'd be green all year. It gets so ugly out there in the winter and the boxwoods would solve that. source Lots of green and amazing. I think I am loving the idea of an iron pergola. My backyard becomes just a green room when all the leaves come out on the trees. I love it. My Mom thinks it's too closed in but I adore it. I just want to expand upon the feeling. Are you getting excited about outdoor decorating? I'm so into it. Tweet
Hello Everyone! Since I haven't taken you on a garden tour lately I thought today would be a good day to enjoy some time in the garden. We have lots of different varieties of hydrangeas in bloom now. The Annebelle above has been blooming since mid July. They are hardy and reliable so you have to love them! There is a Sweet Autumn clematis loaded with buds on the gazebo that has yet to bloom. More Annebelles in fore ground. They put out little suckers so I can dig them up and move them around the garden. I love the Joe Pye weed as it blooms later then most plants and it is pretty. The virginia creeper on the terrace is starting to take on some fall color-soon it will be scarlet. The verigated phlox has pretty pink blooms now and I love how the foliage brightens up the garden all season. A shot of our home and garden taken from the tree line down by the brook. Joe Pye again with the elder berries that the birds are loving in behind. As you can see there is not as much color in the garden now as the season is winding down but soon it will take on it's fall colors which is pretty too. This is our garden out by the road .there are four large Limelight Hydrangeas out there. In this photo taken a couple of weeks ago the phlox was in full bloom but it is getting past now. I love all the different color phlox and I use them in bouquets all summer long as I have early bloomers as well as late bloomers. this shot was taken a couple of weeks ago too but I don't think I shared it and I do like it even if it is slightly out of focus. We are back out by the road again. I like this shot of Joe Pye taken after a good rain before it bloomed. this is a Tamerack shrub that is interesting with a Unique hydrangea in background. Couldn't resist a collage. This is one of my favorite annuals that I grew from seed Nigella or Love in the Mist. another view of it. and this is my favorite perennial ' Love in the mist'- my dear husband, in case you' mist' my humor! Thank you for coming around the garden with me today and I hope you will come back tomorrow for my brown transferware tea ( I am kind of pleased with it so I am hoping you will enjoy it too!) This weekend is the annual 70 mile yard sale down in the eastern part of the Island and I am looking forward to going again this year. Today, I am joining in with Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday where ther is lots of outdoor beauty to see. Enjoy your day, Carolyn
Hello everyone, It is a nice day for a garden tour so let's go shall we! This is my favorite part of the garden right now. It is the Allee garden leading to the pond. This part of the garden is a new extension last fall. It filled in quickly as we divided heathly sized clumps of perennials from other parts of the garden for the most part. The hollyhocks I started from seed and they have done well considering the dry summer. We have so many varieties of phlox in the garden that put on a good show in August. This shrub Clethra not only looks pretty but has a wonderful fragrance too. Martha's Garden (above& below) The Allee garden again Out by the road. You can see this is my fav,right now. The virginia creeper covering the arbor going to the front door. A different angle of the new extenion. Russian Sage with Julia Child rose on hillside garden.
