It is a lazy Sunday here in the Northeast. Humid, chance of showers and gray skies – the same weather report we’ve had for several days. I’m am not a lover of humidity. Unfortunately, I live in the Hudson River valley where humidity and allergies reign. Nevertheless, I will press on and share a few photos with you. I found this sign in one of my favorite antique malls. Don’t you love it?
I also found this lovely vintage wicker rocker. It was “as is”; a little worn, which made me love it all the more. It came with two lovely cushions in rose, green and cream – a flower pattern on one side and a stripe in the same colors on the reverse side. Those cushions are safely inside. Our porch gets very wet when it rains so I thought the better choice was to buy some outdoor cushions. I will change them out again when the chair goes inside for the winter.
I took a little trip around the property. Here are some more photos of beautiful blooms:
I’m off to check out the garden, prune, go to the nursery and then work on my present for my friend’s daughter who graduated from high school. I’m making her a crocheted throw for her dorm room. Can’t share any photos of it in progress because she might see the blog.
Have a great Sunday!

I planted pink cone flowers this summer. Do they mulitply and spread very easily? I grew up with day lilies and pink and blue hydrangas— great memories your post brought back….

Oh, I love that gorgeous calla lily!! Is it a calla lily? Looks like one to me…It’s beautiful!

I think your rocker is perfect for your porch. I found an old brown wicker rocker at the thrift store. I’m going to put it in my craft room, I think.
I love daylilies. They are so easy to grow, and rewarding too. Plus they multiply so you will have some to share with your neighbors and friends one day. I watched a show one day on pollinating them. It looked easy, and like it could be a fun thing to try. You only need two different varieties and you can make a third! All of your flowers are very pretty.

Such pretty flowers and I love older wicker, too! Such character.
