Hello everyone, Today,even though we are still in the midst of winter I was doing a little daydreaming of long summer days spent relaxing in the garden. I think I must have dreamt that we have a couple of full time gardeners if I was thinking I was going to be lazing around in a hammock all day! Love this little secluded spot surrounded by roses. Tea on the screened in porch will be lovely after I finish reading my book! Breakfast on the veranda to start the day. The old vintage rocker is pretty comfortable for tea also. Lunch in the garden,anyone? Lemonade and a cupcake before an afternoon nap? Martha's Garden is another favorite garden nook. Our Chelsea Garden. Lots of choices for summer relaxation! In case you were wondering, I added the lace from an old bed skirt to the umbrella to give it a romantic touch. Phew! What a busy day .....so happy I can sit for a spell by the pond and enjoy the beauty of nature or maybe finish that book I have been 'working' on all day. Well, I enjoyed my daydreaming for awhile, but for now I will enjoy my tea and a book by the fireside instead! Now,just in case you think I am a pampered lady......I don't really spend my days moving from hammock to hammock but I can always dream!!! Thank you for visiting, Carolyn
