Hello dear friends, our gardens are quite lush with the rain and warm temperatures we have been having so far this summer. I took a little walk around a couple of days ago and have some photos to share with you.
A view from our pergola terrace. I am not sure where time goes as we built this several years ago now and haven't really used it. This area needs a little love which it should receive in the next couple of weeks!
A view from our fire pit with Lake Ophelia peaking through the trees in the distance. Our blue spruce was purchased as a wee little tree so many years ago and then was run over by the company that used to mow our lawns. :( It is starting to recover nicely and is now really taking off.
This is our fire pit which has gone through many evolutions over the years. We are still working on landscaping this area. It was a last minute rush to get this done when we had a service for my mother after she passed away two years ago. Last year we had such a hot dry summer with so many fire bans we didnt get a chance to use it. This year has been seen a lot of rain (this month may be the wettest July on record!) so we still havent used it. When the evenings cool down it is a lovely place to sit with friends and a glass of wine.

We have been expanding our memory garden this year. Some unruly perennials have been removed and we are adding others.
My husband built Rose Cottage after he retired. We wanted to build a little structure to store outdoor furniture and he decided that in addition to being functional it should be pretty! Which it is.
Vera is demonstrating an ability to come when called!
And Abby is demonstrating the same ability!

And finally another view of our pergola area.
Thank you so much for visiting and wishing everyone a great week!
Loving this!!
