I adore these photos! You look like you are having a marvellous time. I am obsessed with food trucks: how lucky you are to have one in the family! That would be quite excellent if you worked at one of them. If you do, please ask your son and friend to drive it north to Canada to visit!

All of the photos are perfection in there own expression I wouldn’t want to chose here, because each foto tells its own story of beauty in your garden…I was going to ask you Grand lady Contessa is this your fountain and cement columns ?.. Then you answered it for me. 🙂
Beauty surrounds you my dear, and love the blouse. I too would wear it.

CONTESSA! Greetings, the grand dame of GLAMOR!
Thank you so much for coming to visit my blog. According to my pal and model Clara, yes, the creek water was a bit nippy, but what fun did we have. She is a willing model, ready to literally jump into the next scene, seemlessly!
How I wish I could photograph you. Maybe one day, when we do go back up to California!
LA CONTESSA says
WE SHALL MEET……………
CARMEL will CALL to YOU and I’m just up the road a bit!!!!!!!!!

Tip top! And 13. They are all delightful. I’m glad I found your blog! The old red in my Colorado garden is the little rose that was already there when we moved in. I just this season – finally! bought a Graham Thomas rose. We shall see how he does.
