What Others See

In the last few weeks, while I have been absent from social media, other bloggers were so sweet to feature my accounts.

Last week, Kristi of French Creek Farmhouse did a shout out to Steve and me on both her blog and her Instagram account @frenchcreekfarmhouse .

Brenda of Cozy Little House wrote a post titled, Living Large in Little Houses: Carol's House, where she talked about our colorful home and how much we use our outdoor spaces.

Kristi had us both in tears as we read her sweet post, but I laughed when I read this paragraph in her post.

I laughed because I think of our house as mostly white these days.

I created my new blog header before I read Kristi's post.

White linens,

white dishes and 

white decor are what I see.

Then I looked at the photos Kristi chose to use in her post and I saw that while there is white, our house is definitely full of color.

I thought most of the color at our cottage was in the garden.

 I snapped a pic this morning and I notice now that the white walls, windows and furniture are merely a backdrop for bright colors.

If you were to walk around our garden you would see a few white flowers, but mainly

you would see color.
