Cottage Garden Tour....

Vacation Week 3 continues to be lovely....

On Monday Marc had a vacation day and we went with friends to the baseball game in Rochester.  It was the Red Sox vs Buffalo Bisons.  Well the home team didn't do so well.  But we had fun anyway.  They gave us all t-shirts as we walked in the gates.

We had friends visit overnight on the weekend from Canada and see the pretty bloom on our patio table?

 Let me take you on a tour and you'll see where that pretty came from.....

right from Bob and Georgia's our neighbours' garden....they are such a snow white colour...

 Aren't the lilies beautiful?

Everything is so healthy and green and in bloom....Bob spends a lot of time tending to his garden.

Even in this pretty get away sitting nook they have put out special touches.

 The flags....

Isn't this a clever flower shelf Bob made?

In front of the cottage has been a constant wave of activity and change....

This is such a beautiful and colourful time of year....hope you have a wonderful one...Judi xoxo

A Bit Like Heaven I'm Sure....Vacation at the Cottage.

Happy Beautiful summer days....

I am excited to be going to be on 3 weeks vacation starting tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.  Can you see the smile on my face?  I know you can... :o)

We are not going away during this time but we'll spend time at the cottage and we'll visit with friends there and have my best friend Kirsti and her hubby spend a night with us also.  There may be day trips while I'm at home as well as catching up on those things I crave to do while I'm at work.  

Here is the way some of the flowers looked at the cottage last week.  We just planted this clematis this year and look at how well its doing in spite of the late summer.  We have to get a proper trellis for it.  Right now its growing madly around a tomato plant holder.  I may just put a trellis behind it as well.

I planted these impatience among the roots of the large maple tree.  It is such a big tree....and so it must be old...but Marc isn't old and he and his brother used to jump over this tree when they were small... :o)

 The flower box in the shop window is doing nicely.  I love the colours we've used this year.  The American flag sits proudly on one end and the Canadian at the other...

 Marc wired a birdhouse I painted a couple of years ago on to an old shovel I found along the way....

No matter what you do this weekend I hope you have a beautiful one  Enjoy.... Judi xoxo
