Cottage Garden in Summer

I love my house.

I do. More than any house I've lived in. To me, it's just the coziest little home and I could just burrow up  in it forever.

Part of the charm of it is the setting. Our half acre of land envelopes us in a lush cottage garden. The lady of the house before me was a lily collector, and left me quite a bounty of loveliness to care for and enjoy. While I am forever delighting in going out into my garden to see what treasures await on any particular day, this time of the year is the best. A sampling of what lies in my little paradise yard:





Besides lilies, there are other beauties hanging around too:


And the overall effect is something like this, a riot of different blooms:
