Today I am joining Cielo
for Show Off Your Cottage Monday!
I am going to show off my cottage ... garden.
since that's where I spent my day :-)
It's been another Beautiful Day!
(click photos to enlarge)
My rabbit weather vane was so thrilled
to see the perfect blue skies,
he leapt for joy...
My little violinist,
saw the sheer grace of the Fuchsias bloom
and broke into song...
The Valerian stood proud and tall
around the gazebo...
attracting the most beautiful butterflies,
who were masters at eluding my camera!
I decorated my little wall pocket
with a bouquet of Deutzia,
just for fun...
The Peonies laid lazily over the fence,
showing when you are this pretty
you don't have to try too hard...
Because this is my rose cottage
a perfect rose....
It's a Gertrude Jekyll, she is still going strong!
and because it was such a busy day...
even cottage dog Randy is exhausted tonight :-)
I hope everyone enjoyed their cottages as much as I did today!
I am joining...

I wish I could have enjoyed my day at home but was off touring gardens and a peony festival that took your breath away.
I feel like laying down beside Randy, think he'd mind? :-)

Thank you for showing us your beautiful garden. Lovely as always. Take care.
Hola Bella, your garden is absolutely awesome, have loved those so pretty peonies, they are so big and healthy!!!! Your pictures are beautiful, as well!!!... and your little wall pocket is so cute and lovely.
Would you please tell me what camera you use, I`m looking for one and haven`t decided yet.
It`s been so nice coming to visit you,
Cariños,

Beautiful cottage garden. The rose and peonies are so pretty.
Such gorgeous photos as always. And you have so many names for all your beauties, I haven't heard of half these flowers. I had to chuckle when I saw your doggie asleep with his head on your lace pillow, it's a dog's life, isn't it?
My dear Bella,
thank you for your comment!
You do not need a garden corner like the one in my last post: you already have it!
Wonderful.
A big hug,
Fra

Hi Bella,
Thank-you for stopping by my blog. I love doves too. It's so peaceful in the morning having my coffee and listening to them. Your blog is so beautiful! I love this post - a great combination of wonderful photos and inspiring writing. I'm following you now and look forward to getting to know you better.
Have a great Monday! Ro

Hi Bella,
Your garden is everything I want my garden to be. Such a beautiful atmosphere and lovely plants. Glad you have a blog, so that I can look at it and enjoy it as well!
Lieve groet, Madelief
You have such a beautiful place there. I was just looking back through some posts and found your pond and lady.
What beautiful cottage flowers! Peonies I would have to say, are at the top of my "favorites" list. Love the rabbit wind-vane, I will have to see if I can find one! So glad so stopped in on my blog, and... it enabled me to find yours!
Okay, so I am NOT a gardener and I am a)also impressed like Lady Jane before me that you can name all your flowers. And b) I'm sure you have a wonderful camera, BUT these are so well framed and thought out and FABULOUS! You must have been VERY pleased with this crop. I particularly enjoyed the one of the Fuchsia, but a toss up with the Valerian. And c) flowers are always gorgeous, but your garden features and ornaments really elevate these pics to something really special. Glad you showed off your cottage today! Oh yeah d), the Bunny! JQ
Hi Bella...

Beautiful photos, Bella! I'm so envious of your peonies....Mine are all done for the season and I miss them already. :( I had a "Gertrude Jekyll" at a previous house, and oh what a beautiful scent she had!
Til later ~
