     Hello everyone, It is lilac time here on the Island so   I have picked a big bouquet to enjoy with my afternoon tea at our little Ocean Song Cottage. We are having some very cool nights with below freezing temperatures even one night last week and since we are in a low lying area some of my lilac blooms were destroyed so I will have to enjoy the ones that survived. I think the last time that happened was over 20 years ago. I love the fragrance as well as the beauty of lilacs.  I am using blue and white as my tea time theme. There are still some late tulips blooming in our garden. I can no longer send my photos over to my blog from Picasa so it is taking me much longer to load them from photoshop as I can only send one at a time from there. Probably there is a faster way that I haven't figured out yet though. Is anyone else having that problem with picasa? Wishing you a lovely week! Carolyn

      Happy Weekend!        I hope you are enjoying your weekend.        Even though it is cold here today I am    starting to dream about the return of       our garden. In our Zone 5b climate it              will be April before we can get out there           but time passes quickly and before we            know it there will be signs of life again. So, I have been enjoying looking back at some of my favorite shots from previous years. Ah, Spring time with lots of color as the daffodils, tulips etc. bloom.              Peonies, lilacs and lupins                  make a pretty combination                                             ...

     Happy Weekend!         On this lovely sunny warm weekend        I thought I would pop in and share a few relaxing photos with you.          Our lilacs are blooming so there are lots for bouquets. Our nook at our Ocean Song Cottage by the sea is still a work in progress but I took a few pics to share with you anyway, I will share the finished nook and cottage when it is completed.                       There are lots of places to relax and enjoy the view.      Tea on the deck........... by the sea.                Grab a book and relax.....I           saved a chair for you!                       I hope you have a Happy Weekend!         Carolyn
