I miss our little white cottage.... hours away from it are like days
and days seems like extra long months.
I am accompanying my husband who is attending some meetings
in Austin and San Antonio , and then it will be a trip to the house in the roses. It will be already the
middle of July by the time we'll get back to our little white cottage... I have left angels in charge.
If we could go anywhere we want, evenParadise ,
would we miss our homes? If my home is not there I know I would.

And the Iceberg roses were fully clad in all their glories--outfits suitable of queens,
and angels wings
Hard to believe this hedge here....
is the same hedge of just a year ago...
Some of the Crape Myrtle trees in our back gardens were in bloom when we left...
...a classic sign
...that summer is here as the tree bursts into
bloom with huge, colorful flowers.
The large, drooping flower clusters in gorgeous colors remind me of the lilac trees that grew at the house in the roses. 
Sadly, lilacs won't grow here, but I do have
the Crepe Myrtles now...
...butterfly bushes are doing wonderfully too
They attract myriads of butterflies to the garden...
Zinnias are almost as tall as me...
I scattered thousands of zinnia seeds this year... I love zinnias. They grow so tall and always know how to fill my spaces with color and immense joy.
This is one of my favorite corners in the
garden...
It used to look like this only a year ago today...
And this is what that corner looked like even before we put up that fence there... the glorious beam of light I was able to captured that day it certainly filled me up with hope and a sense of clarity...
It let me see clearly into the future..
and this...
Once upon a time while living in another garden I had this
idea that I could never love another garden as much as I loved the one I was
gifted with at that time. Well, I could not have been more
wrong.
How are you all been doing in your part of the world?

DeleteYour garden is a feast for the eyes Cielo! I bet it will be even more full of life and color by the time you get back. I wonder how the roses are doing at the house in the roses!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly wait to be reunited with it... everything is growing so much; so lush and beautiful, and the woods behind... an extra gift to my soul....
DeleteThanks for being here

Oh, my goodness. Your garden fairies will miss you so much! I know you will enjoy the time with your husband and the peek at The House in the Roses, but your own little white cottage will look so beautiful to you when you return. We are watching the skies a bit lately for one severe storm and tornado watch after another. I'm still rearranging and puttering in the house. I hope you can post from the road! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteOh I will be posting from the road alright... and hopefully we will be visiting the house in the roses too! Can't wait to see how my old friends the roses are doing. I'm in San Antonio right now... lovely city, river, the river walk is amazing.... last evening I took some pics from our hotel balcony on the 29th floor just as the sun was coming down... so lovely...
DeleteHugs to you dear friend... and be save from that storm...
