Soon these rainy, ice-cold days will be over. And I"ll be sitting on a dock down the Cape, shading myself from the glare of the sun....soon to be married....soon...

Secret Gardens...

Yesterday I attended the Greenwich Garden Education Center annual Garden Tour. It was FABULOUS!!! The homes themselves were of course GORGEOUS but the landscaping and gardens were breath taking! Some were lavish, some were understated...but they were all beautiful! I will post pictures once I get them up on-line...but in the meantime, enjoy some photos of last year's Garden Tour. I must say though...this year's tour out-did past years.

Splish Splash!

This 86 degree weather reminds me of summer days sunning pool-side. Here are a few pools I wouldn't mind walking out to in my backyard every day for a morning swim....or an evening randeveu! :-) For those of you in the North East....enjoy the day!

So relaxing. I am in love witth this pool house!!!
Take a lap anyone?

Breathtaking....

Imagine this horitcultural dream in your backyard??????? This english garden in Greenwich, CT is simply beautiful...

Rolling hills...

I had meetings in New Holland, PA yesterday (Amish Country) and I was humbled and reminded of the beauty that is simple living and green green grass. Living in the city you sometimes get so accustomed to the tall buildings, traffic, hords of people, cement and pollution... it's easy to forget about good 'ol country living. Here are a few reminders:

This week has been crazy between work and not having internet yet at the new condo....I'll get back at it soon...I promise :-)

Spring...

To celebrate the beginning of Spring I would like to feature one of my favorite aspects of a home....the porch!! I have always loved a nice sprawling porch and hope to one day have one of my own to sit back, sip lemonade, and rock back and forth on an old fashion rocking chair :-) (nice mental picture)! Although it is a frigid 30 degrees here in NY, these images allow me to look forward to the not too far off days of Spring and Summer!! Enjoy...
