Summer Afternoon …
Summer Afternoon … the two most beautiful words in the English language according to Henry James. Well, I agree with Henry—alfresco meals, lounge chairs, running water, freshly mowed grass and hammocks are all the best things about Summer. Oh, and don’t forget fresh strawberries … can’t believe I forgot strawberries. My garden is looking wonderful this year. The rain and the cooler temps this Spring have delayed the flowers and supplied abundant blooms for Summer. The Garden is calling me … cocktails for two please.
Welcome to the Summer garden
Running water is calming and blocks the city noises
View of the side patio—granite walls were built in the 40’s
Pink blooms accent the picket fence
Boxwood and hydrangeas are everywhere
Former playground area is now a secret patio—love these adirondac chairs
Look what I found along the path—Apricots almost ripe
Janie is calling me back in—more later
