Morning Garden Walk and Mailbox Surprise

Welcome to our garden ... Mother Nature's canvas is coming alive with brilliant colours! 
There is so much to see that a tea mug is perfect 
for our walk. Now that we have tea in hand lets get started.


Our first garden stop will be at the Peonies Garden ... these beauties are still going strong with fragrance and blooms. We'll snip a few to enjoy inside.


The Memory Garden still has a few columbine ...

Over at the Angel Garden ...things are quickly changing.

The Butterfly Garden has some feather friends living in one of it's bird houses. The mother bird is very cautious when approaching with food; if she spots us, she will circle around until we are out of range, before darting in to feed her waiting babies.


The Rose Garden is coming onto a glorious choir of colours, textures and fragrance!

I'm so happy that you came by to join me on my morning walk. The sun is now heating up and its time to go inside and enjoy another cup of tea.


OHH..... look the mail has arrived and the postman brought a petite cadeau for moi! It is from my dear friend Mary author of Hope Filled Living. Thank you my friend ... your gift is most thoughtful and arrived on a day that I needed a little sunshine. 
For my tea loving friends ... the tea mugs are from Global Design Connections ~ Okato Williams, they are ceramic and perfect size for strolling in the gardens with. The teapot was handcrafted in Italy. Both items were a gift from a dear friend, who also shares a passion for gardening and tea.

Friends really our the flowers in our garden of life!

Peonies , Roses and a Give Away Winner

The garden is alive, each morning there a brilliant surprise awaits us on our morning walk. This morning the peonies were bursting open releasing there magnificent fragrance with each unfurl of a petal. 



We thought the deep pink/reddish ones would open first. Mother Nature had other plans ... and the pale pink and white ones are the leaders.


Garden inhabitants are also out and about ... these little miracles paused long enough to be captured in photo.


Many of our roses are full of  promising buds, but it was this rose - MY HERO - that graced us with the first glimpses of rose beauty ... appropriately in time for Father's Day ...as regular readers will recall the rose garden was planted last summer in my father's memory. 

Thank you to everyone who entered the Gardener's Box give away. And welcome to new followers and readers. The winner is...


Judith author of Lavender Cottage!!!
