Note to Michele: Catching Up

Dear Michele,

It's been some time since I've posted due to the busy-ness of summer. My garden is growing and so are the weeds! Soon I will give you an update on that, but for today, I will show you some gardens I've admired in our summer travels around New England.

 Above you see the children's garden at the Robert Frost Farm in Derry, NH. I love the combination of plants.

 This delicate poppy is growing in South Berwick Maine in the formal gardens of Hamilton House.

And here are some views of the cottage and garden on the same property. The property overlooks the Salmon Falls River which you see in the background.

 This is the cottage garden which is filled with flowers and some herbs.

 Through the arbor you see the impressive Hamilton House and part of the formal garden.

 The rose garden below is in the gardens of Boston Common.

 Also in Boston, this farmer's market is part of the Sowa Open Market which happens every Sunday throughout the warm months.

So, as you see, we've been on the go. I'll be posting more about these places and some of our other excursions on my family blog Pinecones and Periwinkles throughout the upcoming week. We've also been to some other parks and a very interesting spot known as America's Stonehenge. What have you been up to lately?
