Today... I thought I would share with you...
my favorite garden getaway :-)
(click to enlarge photos)
It's my wicker chair on the backside of the gazebo...
A perfect place to lounge around in the afternoon,
the sun is at my back
so it's a relaxing place to enjoy a magazine.
And pink lemonade is always a delicious treat!
I haven't got my little area all dressed up yet,
our weather has still been too cool and wet.
So... I just tossed a white cotton dish towel
over the little table,
and grabbed a few of my favorite things.
I wanted to show you today
because my Gertrude Jekyll Roses
are right behind my chair and
they are looking and smelling wonderful!
I brought my rusty old bird bell to my table..
just for fun.
Do you think if I ring it a team of garden fairies
may appear and do all the work for me?
I can daydream, right?
and tucked a nest of moonstone eggs
into the birdcage...
Here are the roses,
they don't seem to mind the wet weather.
They are English Roses!
And... just because I love these little guys,
here is an urn I planted today.
I Planted Saxifrage in the top,
which should spill out and look lovely
and... I planted some plugs of Pennyworth
at the feet.
I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!
Today I am joining a few fun parties...
Cindy at My Romantic Home
Tootsie at Flaunt Your Flowers
and...
Jessica at A Few of My Favorite Things
Thanks for visiting me today,

Very relaxing! And I would adore having that urn in my yard. It's going to look beautiful once the flowers start to spill over the edges.

Well you have such a fabulous deck and garden! I know it's wet and chilly for you still, but we never see anything that lush here. You say it's not dressed up yet--looks perfect to me! (My son lives in Blaine, and a good friend lives near Portland--I went to STARS (ALL of them) a couple years ago. Can't wait to go back!)

Oh Bella,
What a great looking garden you have. I would love to sit on that porch as well. It just looks perfect with the wicker chairs and the lace pillows. The Enlgish rose has a beautiful colour.
