Lupin Season on the Island

 

Hello everyone,

We are right in the middle of lupin

season here on the Island and it

is so beautiful to go for a drive

and enjoy their beauty.

They are very hardy plants and grow wild

here in ditches and fields.

I especially love the lupins with

the wild phlox. The colors really

compliment each other.

We had wild phlox in our garden

this year that had reseeded very

prolifically so we spent hours

pulling it out of our beds.

So, although I love it in ditches

not so much in our garden.

These photos are not the best as I took

them yesterday just before the rain and it 

was windy.but it does give you a

glimpse of their beauty.

We had a lot of rain in the past 24 hours and I

am grateful for the garden as it had

been awhile since we had a good

rain.

I have some photos of  a garden tea

that I hope to share soon.

Hope you are having a good week!

Take care,

Carolyn

Pink Valentine;s Day Tea

       Happy Valentine's Day!

          On this beautiful sunny winter day, I

     thought I would do a pretty pink 

       Valentine's Day tea just for you my

lovely friends.

Of course, I am using my favorite

pink flowered teapot with

the matching heart shaped

plate with sugar cookies.

Another pretty pink heart shaped

plate . I seem to have collected

lots of pink over the years.

Soft pink teacup and saucer.

I have a quite a few of these

pretty pink vintage  plates.

The table is set and the tea is steeping

so help yourself and linger awhile.

Hope you enjoyed  and thank you

for visiting and to all who leave

sweet comments.

Happy Valentine's Day!

With love,

Carolyn
