And you made the cover? Did you use a pattern or did you "eye ball it?"<br /><br />The cottage looks splendid. We too are changing things around in our garden. We planted some evergreens about 8 years ago now that have become SO HUGE that we are going to pull them out and replace most of them with boxwood. Our goal is to have a sea of boxwood to mimic those gardens in France. That plant seems to do well for us, and we're up to the task!<br /><br />School is almost out. I want to spend every day in a book, with my camera, writing, gardening, just loving my part in this life.Castles Crowns and Cottageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780241008313365707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-48769632605243103042016-05-10T13:41:21.238-07:002016-05-10T13:41:21.238-07:00Carol, love so many things here - your new flowers...Carol, love so many things here - your new flowers and the riot of colors, those ruffled napkins (which I've seen before, but just sayin'..), Lulu & the tulips, and that bowl of cherries vignette is awesome! Do tell, why did Steve select a harpoon as your Mother's Day present? I do the same thing as you - spend a lot of time and circling right back to the way I had things before. That's a good lesson in, "if it's not broken, don't try to fix it".

I've been meaning to stop by and catch up with you. Last week I flew back home and stayed with my parents. My Dad's resting heart rate had dropped to the low 40s and he needed a pacemaker asap. It was an exhausting week but everything turned out well-thank you Lord. And I'm back trying to get caught up with life. just went grocery shopping last night hahaha... So glad your rash is better maybe we can finally get together soon :)<br />xo<br />LeslieLeslie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367872267145012395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434601505681405514.post-63932713662222002612016-05-10T10:39:49.965-07:002016-05-10T10:39:49.965-07:00I love all your pretty flowers!!
