Winter in Maine, 2013

This has been a very snowy Maine Winter. In February we measured 49 inches of snow. A Winter Wonderland indeed! The Pergola in the Orchard Garden added drama and Structure to the Winter Garden Views. The Blue is the signature color of this property and is used as an accent throughout. In the Spring we will be planting Hops Vines on the Pergola. They are rapid growers and the Lime Green color  of the leaves and cone shaped flowers will pop against the blue!

A Collage of Home & Garden in 2012...

 It has been a very busy 2012. The Pergola was added to the Orchard Garden and the wild grasses and Flowers really hit a high note this year.

Inside, The Studio was finished and a few rooms were freshly painted. The Orchid Room continues to amaze me, the south facing windows are great for my Orchids and a tonic for cold wintery days.




The Garden, with wild grasses and wonderful spots to contemplate while one is "taking a turn about the garden"!





 
Snowy Days can create magical twilight in the Garden. The twinkly White lights are the perfect note to a winter landscape.
