More Contrasts

I am looking back to summer, when we enjoyed lots of colour…it is all so WHITE now! These were taken in our yard today , and  back in the summer, from approximately the same vantage point. I am joining in with Mary’s Mosaic Monday.

Hi Millie,
Sounds like maybe you are longing for warmer climes, is it time to take off for Arizona yet? I'm sure you are looking forward to the warmer weather!
Your place looks lovely even with all of the snow. Be sure to stay safe in the snow now.
Hugs, Cindy

We have pansies in the yard that are in bloom, but we've had to put frost blankets out to protect them. The cold got our banana trees which were gorgeous. They will come back, I hope, but I hate it when they freeze.

Your yard is beautiful in both seasons, Millie :-)

Waiting, is how I see the winter photos. Spring will be here soon, right? Take care and enjoy your week.

You'll appreciate spring and summer all the more for the snow and cold you've had this year. But oh, it's such a long time to wait.

Hi Millie,
I am so looking forward to green lawns and flowers! Here in Atlantic Canada we have been getting storm after storm. Spring can't come soon enough for me! Your maid of honor tarts look wonderful! Would love the recipe. Hope you have a lovely weekend.

Blessings,
Sandi

Victoria…and Me

Image
To see larger photos, click to enlarge.. The May-June 2009 Victoria magazine is one of my favorites, featuring blue and white... one of the open pages with an article on linens...it just happens that I have one of the patterns... There is also a feature on blue and white Wedgewood ... I have photographed some of my pieces alongside the article... ....here is my interpretation of blue and white... As a nod to the current issue of Victoria, which features some tea tables in green, I have  set out my own little tea table, with some scones... ...or perhaps you'd like to help yourself to a chocolate-cherry morsel? On this spring day, I am joining in with : Celebrate Spring http://blissfulrhythm.blogspot.com/ Mary's Mosaic Monday, on whose blog you will see some lovely snowdrops: http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/mosaic-monday-snowdrops.html Also,   Sandi is having a special tea party today, so be sure to go over there and enjoy her lovely blog
