There was a break in all the work days.
I went to the Canadian Mainland for a shopping spree with my employer and friend Fran. She wanted to buy several trees and bushes and these are not allowed to be transported through the US.
So, on the way back we took the summer ferry connection to the island.

The weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold. The tide was at it's lowest.

When I arrived back at home I had guests from Fort Thomas, Kentucky. Rachel and her son Zack came with their "Rialta" and stayed for two nights to explore the area.
They were great company, and good food followed in their wake. Maybe we will be able to drop in at their place at one time in the future. Who knows?
Now I am back to my solitude and this morning I particularly enjoyed the view and the garden.

That's the idea, a garden that is not overwhelming. Just for the fun of it.
Your perennial garden by your porch is my kind of garden. That's what we have here at our summer cottage in Delaware. Plus your "eye candy." So easy to take care of on hot summer days.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your house, your yard, your view and your island. What a wonderful place to live. How fun to have guests for a couple of day, nice company. I wish I was there, too! :)
