Dear Gentle Readers...Humor me today as I need to be reminded of flowers and summer. As you suspect this is a repost of scent and bloom. There is apparently a huge snow storm coming my way. So Vee it looks like you did let me borrow some of your winter ;)

My favorite rose of the moment...Lillian Austin
Taking a break from garden carnage to have a cool drink and breath. Two days till vacation at the beach, and life in the garden needs some control!!! I rather love it though really. Whacking, prunning, planting, weeding, dead heading, lifting and rearranging. I have friends that are flabbergasted that I keep such a large garden in their opinion. My last garden was three times the size on 3/4 of an acre and every square foot planted.
My lily walk on the north side...the scent is intoxicating!
The only thing that would complete this for me is a pool. If we can ever figure out how to put one in the ground with out spending a fortune. Prices have literally tripled since we installed our last pool. And yes swimming is one of the other forms of exercise I enjoy! Perfect combo really!
The snow is quite lovely and I will pretend I am back in New England for the few days this will last. I know I have no legit reason to whine. Some of you must feel stuck in eternal winter. Mmmm breath deeply, can't you just smell that heady scent of lilies <3

I would enjoy picking a posy or having an evening or morning stroll through your garden! It looks so well and tenderly cared for. Hope the storm is not as bad as predicted, and enjoy your time at the beach!
Now promise me that once the snow has arrived, you will find your way outside and take some beautiful photos just as you have here of the garden. One must rejoice in the moment and, since you'll be escaping it so soon, it won't cost you much. Love the way you describe the gym! LOL!
Love the contrasting photos! :) And good to see what you're up to.
Btw, I had to close my Contemplate Joy blog because it was hacked over the weekend. Sort of weird, to say the least. Now I'm at http://melissawsmith.wordpress.com

What first brought me to your blog was your lovely garden.....now I like coming because we are blogging friends. Holiday while the snow falls.....good plan!
Wow you guys did get some snow. Welcome to the season of "winter", it seems to be upon most of us these days.
Enjoy the beauty this brings until your beloved Spring arrives and your all your flowers wake up from their slumber.
So beautiful to see such a glorious taste of summer. I remember when you started planting. Great achievement.
