Seasons at Gardenside Rose Cottage


Hello dear ones,

This post is about our little cottage/shed in different seasons.  I thought it's interesting how things change from season to season.  

 Enjoy!

"There is no season such delight can bring,
As Summer, Autumn, Winter and the Spring."
~ William Browne, 1630


~ Winter ~

Winter is the time of promise because there is so little to do - or because you can now and then permit yourself the luxury of thinking so.

Winter dies into Spring, to be born again in the Autumn.

Spring is nature's way of saying, "Let's Party!"
~ Robin Williams

White-throated Sparrow hand carved by my dear husband.
When my DH finished carving the birds I like to take them out, and take photos of them with flowers and things.

Spring arrives and with it comes . . . cute little creatures.


Can you see the cuties?

~ Summer ~

These photos below were taken last summer after a heavy rain, you can see the flooded ditch.  We are planning, later on, to add a little bridge.



Nature gave us our own stream :)

I love to seat in the swing and look at the beautiful mountains any season of the year!





I also love to contemplate my flowers, specially when you find one so unique and with this kind of shape.

Tea anyone?

May you be seated . . . I hope you enjoy your visit!

This beautiful Cardinal was hand carved by my dear husband and gifted to my beloved mother.

  12. Hi Wendy,
    I do love your little garden cottage. It is really adorable and imagine having a stream running in front of it! Can't wait to see the bridge you build there. Your hubby's wooden birds are just wonderful. My hubby and I love watching the birds and our son gifted us with a really good bird book for Christmas because we are getting into it more all the time. We may even join a club down the road. Love the birdies!
    Thank you for sharing your lovely post with us and I really enjoyed all your quotes too. Have a delightful week, my friend.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  16. I have been dreaming nightly of a little cottage like what you have. I had seen yours a couple of months ago, but it has been on my mind and I didn't know where i had seen it. I love it... what is the measurements? Do you use it for storage or is it all painted white with a skim of pink, lace and white filmy material????

    Have a wonderful week!

  18. wow- just lovely! I would love to have a little cottage like that! and such fun to see it through the seasons- on a side note how on earth were you able to get your adorable cat into that outfit - the most I got with mine was a crown on her head because it had a clip in it-:)
    Cheers
