June garden

 I would like to share some images from my early June garden.

chives, peonies, lantana topiary

Crown Princess rose

Meyer lemon tree

This is my neighbor's view of our honeysuckle. I have to walk next door to see it!

This is my magic tool for weeding. The bottom of the blade is sharp and slices the weed tops right off of the roots. Makes it very quick to weed, something I don't care to do very often!

And a big thank you to my husband for these Casa Blanca lilies. They scent the whole house- and in a good way. Not enough to knock you over; just enough for you to catch the scent as you walk by.  

Thank you, Cindy, at My Romantic Home.

Mirror, mirror on the wall

In keeping with Cindy over at My Romantic Home's Show & Tell Friday, I would like to share three of the mirrors I have at home. For some reason, we are drawn to them.

This is my favorite. I found this at an unremarkable antique store years ago and have treasured it every day since then. The mirror looks exactly the same now as it did when I purchased it. It is from France.

This is the mirror in my kitchen. We found this at an estate sale along with other goodies and they had been passed up by everyone for two days! We were so excited and perplexed. Can't tell you much about this except that it is not nearly as old as the first mirror.

This mirror and marble top table were the first furniture pieces I purchased. The mirror rests on the table; I like it better than hanging it.

Lastly, here is one of the few tree peonies in my yard that wasn't destroyed by the baseball size hail we had last Friday evening. The hail put holes in so many leaves and our siding. Two sides of our house need new siding!
