There's no time for a lengthy post today -- and probably not really time for this one. But I wanted to share just a few photos of our friend Charlotte's glorious flowers. We just got back from a quick two-day visit to her home in the Great North Woods.
One might think the growing season would be limited so far north, and one might be right. But I have seen flowers blooming in Charlotte's gardens right into October.
Most readers realize that I have a brown thumb. I'm not good at keeping plants alive, especially houseplants. But these will be outdoor perennials, so I'm hoping for better success.
I'm so thankful for the blessings of friendship and flowers!
That’s a lovely garden!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I should mention that Charlotte is 83!
DeleteOh how wonderful!! So much glorious color! I remember the flower gardens of New England...they seemed so much brighter and grander than our flower gardens here. Maybe because they are appreciated so much more after the starkness of winter! Thank you for sharing this with us...and I love the view to the pond...and then to see that there is a real log cabin there, well, that's just about perfect in my book! Thank you for sharing it with us. I would have loved that trip!!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous and interesting flowers! What a gift to be able to bring some back to plant near your cabin.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful selection of flowers. The pond photo is a favorite. Prayers your take home all thrive!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte has some very pretty flowers and now you will have some, too. I can't believe that you have a brown thumb. 😊
ReplyDeleteLovely!!!! I love my garden and it is a wonderful place for God to speak to us!
