Flowers and Garden - Sept 15, 2011

Last night we had a slight frost, but only the dahlias were affected by it....tonight there are frost warnings again... I had so hoped we would have a longer frost free period this year, but soon all our gardening will be a memory...thankfully it is somewhat preserved in photos and of course, our memories. Yesterday I went out and picked lots of flowers and plunked them in various containers:


My hubby was up on the roof today, cleaning the skylight, and took a shot of the yard from up there:



A few more photos...


I am joining Tootsie for her regular weekly flower flaunting. Tootsie is keeping her chin up in a time of adversity..kudos to her...

How wonderful to have so many beautiful flowers inside your house. I spotted the Vanilla Marigolds, like mine! Loved the Hydrangeas and the group of container plants you showed. Fabulous colour!

I love your bouquet of hydrangeas and the shot from the roof is lovely too.
I can see why you don't want a heavy frost for awhile-it is too pretty.
We are having a cool spell this weekend but I hope we don't get frost for awhile yet.

Have a lovely weekend,
Carolyn

Hi Millie, thanks for you kind comment on my post. Fall is definitely in the air here today. Your flowers are looking quite spectacular - even from the roof! I also picked a bouquet of hydrangeas to dry. And, I found them to have many earwigs hiding inside! Gross!!! Do you have earwigs there? I hope not! I hope your weekend is lovely. Pamela

Millie, it never ceases to amaze me how beautiful your arrangements are. You do such stunning work with flowers.

I wanted to drop by and thank you for the kind sentiments you left on my last post. I'm just now starting to blog again, and I wanted to be sure and let you know how much I appreciate your kindness.

Hope things are well with you and yours and that you are enjoying the change of seasons...

XO,

Sheila

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
