I didn't get much more gardening done this year beyond the front of the house but a little lavendar some tomatoes, cosmos, and lots of basil at least it smells fantastic! |
And of course you cannot live in the country without having wreaths - handmade of course- for each season of the year! |
My copper cat guarding my miniature pink rose bush that is not fairing very well this summer |
What would a country house-barn be without a front door light fixture like this? |
Another coveted item that I found in the farm garbage dump at the back of the property - I still use it for a light potted plant to sit on in early summer |
One of my most prized posessions is this bell that sound is the bouy in Bar Harbor, Maine - my most favorite place on the planet |
I have no idea what this old hook like apparatus was once used for but I do like the look of the rust against the white and the cedar shingles that cover my barn/home |
What would an old farm be without a rusting horseshoe or two? I never used to think about it but I really have come to like old rusty things that remind us of a time gone by |
Only in the summer does the sun shine in through the front door windows like this - I love the juxtaposition of shadow falling on the rugs |
Great photos, Beth. Fall is my favorite time of year, but when the days look like this, even though they're gorgeous--they make me a little sad, because you know that Summer is leaving. It was so hot this year, but it was still Summer and not the dreaded Winter--yuck. (I need to move to a warmer climate :)
ReplyDeleteBeth,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the stroll in your garden. The basil smells wonderful. I love the copper cat, the old chair, the bell and the wreath. I think Autumn is my most favorite season. Enjoy the time...
