Amidst the Blooms

Late springtime flowers hug the old porch with fragrance and color.

'Million Bells' spills deep pink from a rustic pot.

'Henryii' clematis twining around the post.

Sweet English lavender dances with even sweeter roses.

Soft, cushy pillows tossed onto a vintage wicker sofa under an azure sky...

whisper of sleep.

'Walker's Low' catmint lining the brick walk fills the air with invigorating scent.

Shade deepens along the woods hem.

Frilly, feminine 'Josephine' blooms happily on the arbor by the porch.

Tree peony blooms nod heavily.

Their fragrance intensely intoxicating.

Sweet and ruffly 'Sarah Bernhardt' sighs in the warm sunshine.

Fragrant "Knock Out" roses budding yellow sunshine
and opening to vanilla ice cream.

Green embraces white.

Lanterns filled with fairy lights will glow softly with falling dusk.

A catnap amidst the blooms calls to me...

~ Sweet Angel in the Garden ~

Good morning to you!

On this wonderful White Wednesday (at Faded Charm), I want to share with you 

my sweet little angel who resides on my deck.

He keeps a careful, loving watch beneath a pot of burgandy "Million Bells" silvery white Dichondra "Silver Falls".

Quietly reflecting.  Serenely guarding.

Blessings

and { hugs } with prayers that your guardian angel is watching over you today...
