End of Summer

Here's some snap shots of farm summer 2011.
I got most of the blueberries this year...not the birds...
As I've mentioned before...tomato banner year...
August was a month of watermelon margaritas...
I became enthralled with this guy and followed him along the side of the house for what seemed like
hours one day...probably due to too many watermelon margaritas...
The green fence hedge across the front of the property finally took shape this year...
About five years ago we had many white Crepe Myrtles planted on all side of the gardens
around the house...they exploded this year...
This little side courtyard is off the wrap-around-porch...more to come on this project later....
I managed to keep these citrus trees alive all summer...so far any way. One even has small
tangerines on it...
It was this hot here all summer long....
It was a good herb year...
And, Linda http://coconutsandlimes.blogspot.com/ told us to try something new and suggested to do this
watermelon cube with balsamic. I did it for 4th of July guests...It was a hit and I remembered to snap a photo
just before the last one disappeared.

European New Country

The house is described as new country style. I’m all about the eclectic European mix. It has many of my favorite things – Egyptian interior columns, classic furniture & details mixed with new pieces. There are interesting accessories in each photo that make you look closer to really see what’s going on, but it’s all still very subtle.

Mantel Accessories
![]() |

We have three fireplaces in our house. Which also means we have three fireplace mantels. I can't walk by one of them with moving something. I have a pair of verdigris urns placed on the mantel in the front parlor and those generally stay untouched. But, I can't even begin to describe to you how many times I've moved things and 'restyled' the mantels in the the dining room and the guest bedroom. I feel another display attempt quickly approaching. Here's some good inspiration!
