The Autumn Garden

Welcome friends!

With the temps still a bit warm,
my garden is blooming and giving a pretty show
for the last of the season.

This wreath greets us when we walk to the side yard
and potting bench.


Stunning Purslane is still blooming each day when the sun shines.


One more hydrangea bloom pretty in pink.


Mums blooming with fall color.

In the Meditation Garden,
sweet mums take a seat on the old chair.




Ivy has grown beautiful this summer
and my potting bench is
wrapped in green.


Pansies are just beginning to give a pretty show for fall.
I love these sweet blooms.
Think I'll paint a few~


Mr. Frog is still enjoying his spot on the red bike
and mums replace the summer blooms.


More mums among the ivy are filled with buds soon to open.


Summer flowers and begonias are
 not ready to end their time in the garden.


Lantana giving a seasonal blooming in shades of rust.


This bush is called Texas Bush Rose.
I've never seen a rose bloom per say, 
but it's huge vines produce a stalk like flower.


And
 this garden must have 
a garden house for the birds to enjoy.


Here we see a gorgeous fall bloom on the purple potato vine.
These are going strong and loaded with flowers similar to a trumpet vine or morning glory.

Not all purple vines bloom however!


Warm afternoons will find me enjoying
some time here for tea when I can catch a few moments
for a break.

I'm currently working on two bathroom makeovers.
The process is fun, but hectic at times.







It's a bit busy here at Rose Garden Cottage
but I'll be back to share more of my renos next week.
Blessings to ya'll

In the Garden for Tea Time

Sharing Tea with your best girlfriend is one of life's special moments. Today for Tea Time Tuesday, we are joining Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage and the list of participants, as I celebrate Fall in the Garden for Tea Time.

As my friend and I take a seat at the bistro,Where Roses Bloom, we relax and look around the garden where flowers still share the last of summer's bounty and my Fall flowers are just beginning.




While our tea is brewing, let's enjoy the view of nature's beauty.








And of course we can't forget the Autumn cottage for our birdie friends.

Our tea is ready and it is so nice to relax this afternoon in the fresh air and cooler temps. Today I will serve our tea from a teapot I have shared before. It is pretty for Fall with the leaf pattern on the front. Our french inspired tea mugs are designed with roses in Autumn colors and rose names on the inside brim.





Our sugar and creamer are Autumn inspired with a sunflower design on one side and rooster on the other.

For the centerpiece, I have added just a simple Happy Harvest carved pumpkin.

Rust colored napkins are held using a mini grapevine wreath and silk leaf for a napkin holder.

For our tea time dessert, we are enjoying pumpkin cakeroll with creamcheese filling. It is light and not too sweet. Perfect with a dollop of plum jam.


How cozy it is to settle in for the afternoon and enjoy tea and cakeroll in our bistro seats with comfy back cushions.


Thank you for joining me and my best friend for tea today. It is always wonderful to have you visit and your comments are welcomed and enjoyed.
Have a beautiful Autumn day.
