OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY

I was so excited when I saw my Hydrangea beginning to bloom this year! It is about 4 years old and these are the first blooms that I've seen on it!

There is one about to open...

and a few others too!

It is going to be a beauty when it is in full bloom!

Here is a picture of the Bee Balm that I bought last year and planted a bit too close to the Hydrangea! I will have to move it in the Fall. It is blooming now too.

Oh, and here is my little visitor that comes into my garden every day to see what is good to eat!
Hey, don't leave!I feel a bit like Mrs. Mac Gregor! :0)

AMERICA'S KESWICK IN JUNE - OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY

Summer at America's Keswick and the grounds are lovely. Here is Dani, who is a summer resident of the campground located at Keswick in Whiting, New Jersey. She offered us a tour in her golf cart. This is the bridge where our tour begins. It winds around one of the three lakes on the property.

We went past the Thrift Shop which opens only one day per week. Luckily, that one day was the second day we were there. It is a lot of fun to rummage around in the shop and see what "bargains" we can find. I did find two framed pictures of Colonial Williamsburg for $1.50 each!

This is a picture of the dining porch where we take our meals. . .it over looks a lake.

. . .and here is the lake!

This is just one of the gardens that have been planted almost everywhere you look. The flowers are donated every year by a man named Dave who has just been diagnosed with Lymphoma (please keep him in your prayers).

This wooden swing is a great place to read, talk or just sit and relax.

I just love the time that I spend at Keswick. It is one of the highlights of my year - I attended the Senior conference this year with Peggy, Marion and Marge. Three of our pals could not make it this year and we really missed them. Well, there is always next year and we have already signed on!

I will have more pictures to share with you soon.
