Mosaic Monday: Jersey Shore

It took me a week, but I finally got around to editing my photos from our vacation.  I know some of you may have watched the TV show Jersey Shore...  well, this is the real Jersey shore.  If you get up early enough, you can have the beach almost entirely to yourself, and wow is it ever beautiful!  The beach photos you see here were taken in Wildwood Crest, where the beach itself is about a half mile wide.  What a lovely spot!  The lighthouse is the Cape May lighthouse.  There is a beautiful beach there as well, but no lifeguards.  Cape May is known as a fabulous place to watch birds, and when we were there we saw several white herons although I didn't get any decent photos of them...  :(

Mosaic Monday: Connecticut Garden

First of all, I'm so sorry about missing last week's Mosaic Monday!  We had a wonderful, albeit internet-free, week of vacation at the Jersey shore.  :)

This week, I have some photos that I took way back in June, while on the Garden Conservancy's Open Days in Litchfield County, Connecticut. This particular garden consisted of a 1920's Georgian style brick house set in 50 acres of fields, perennial gardens and woodlands.  The small conservatory was beautiful, as well as the patio and covered pergola.  I loved the use of blue/purple flowers against the white-painted brick.  The last photo shows the gorgeous view out over the Litchfield hills.  A beautiful garden!

Gone Fishin'

My apologies for not posting a Mosaic Monday this week. I am on vacation, and didn't realize that we would not have wifi availability. I'm posting this note from my phone. :)

So sorry for the mix-up. Hope to see you all next week!

xoxo,
Mary

Mosaic Monday: Bunny's Barn

We are in the middle of a tremendous thunderstorm as I'm preparing this post.  It's a blessing -- we really need the rain -- but to tell you the truth, I'm afraid to be on the computer right now.  So forgive me, but in order to get this post up at the proper time, I'm going to be brief.

Yes, this is yet another Bunny Williams post.  She has this wonderful barn that has been converted to an entertaining space, and it was open to the public along with her garden during the Garden Conservancy's Open Days program back in June.  I love all the antiques here, so I tried to take a lot of closeups of of her tables.  There are also some closeups of the two bathrooms in the barn, and the guest bedroom, which is upstairs.

Ooops, there's another crack of lightning, so I'm out of here.  Enjoy!
