These are calla lilies. I thought last season I had planted ginger in this pot, but surprise! Calla lilies. It was a great surprise to see these lovely blooms this week. Another gift provided by nature! #lots of 🌱 #surpriseflowers #classy blooms

With fresh coffee in hand absorbing the sounds, fragrances and beauty of the day ❤️. Today’s greetings come from the Clematis growing in one of my gardens. Have a fabulous day all! PS can anyone name the second line of this song? #morninginthegarden #clematis #joyfuldays

Admittedly, this is not morning light but still. Find your joy where you can! #bloomsofjoy #colorfulvibesonly #vibrantvibes

I love the smell of petunias in the morning. I keep them by my front and back door. The sense of smell triggers the memories from years gone by. Vanilla might remind you of your Mom baking and roses might remind you of a special day. For me petunias remind me of my childhood 😊 What’s yours?

A shaded balcony with a view of the Rhode Island Sound. Yes please! Just let me get my muslin day dress, bonnet and parasol:) maybe a lemonade too! #rhodeislandlife #newportrhodeisland #mansionscenery

Isn’t nature grand? Not really a fragrance to them but the beauty makes up for it. If you have columbine in your garden it will spread. I’m not complaining about it 😁💕 #gardensplendor #gardens #gardenlove

Pretty in Pink 😁. I wish I knew the name of this one but I don’t. Please share if you do. I love the darker stripes on the new buds. The aroma of peonies are heavenly! #peony pink #peonyseason #my dinnercompaniontonight

I love the fragrance of tea roses. These are perfect little rose buds. What a gift! Find one thing in every day that brings you joy. #rosesrosesroses🌹 #roselover #foundmyjoy

This caught my eye in Cancún and then I really started to look at it. There are tools, knobs, nuts and bolts etc. I’m always amazed at the creativity of the artistic mind. Brilliant! Hard Rock Hotel Cancun #lookcloser #amazingartists #artisticcreations
