Cousin Cindy




Category: bethie's world | Posted: Mon Jun 04, 2007 8:42 pm

Cindy is my hubby's first cousin and Our Good Friend. I first met her when I came to Tennessee to live and she came to visit her Grandmother. We saw her every year after that and eventually she came to live in our little rural backwater. She fully embraces the country lifestyle so I asked if I could come and take a few pics. She said yes so here we go on a tour of Cindy's Place in the World. Here's a few flowers in bloom.

Not sure what this is but dug up a few young ones for myself. It reseeds readily.

This santolina was stunning in the late afternoon sunlight.

Gentle beauty meets the eye at every turn.

Interesting bits of wood abound.

No shed should be without a dressing of rusty tools.

This lovely pot on it's perilous perch. Is that it's predecessor down there or just for fun? You decide.

Beautiful butterfly weed.

An interesting dish catches our eye.

A scenic little twig arch.

Why there's a beautiful kitty.

Let's rest a spell and go on in.

In the early evening shadows the waterford crystal still dazzles.

Why there's Pappy looking like he could climb right out of the photo and turn the radio on while he's reading his paper.

Goldilock's herself couldn't resist this pretty bed with the late evening sun slanting in the window. I am no exception so Gentle Reader, I bid you goodnight.

Cousin Cindy certainly has a beautiful garden! I think those flowers are called Mexican Hats http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/801/index.html . I LOVE them! Now I feel like I got to visit Cousin Cindy too! :-)

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with you to Cousin Cindy's place!! Such a variety of beautiful flowers, oddities and rustic garden tools. The inside of her home is just as intriguing especially the beautiful Waterford crystal. Thank her for us and tell her we will be honoured if she would let us visit again sometime.

Very lovely. Restful.
Lucky Lady to have that garden, and cousins to come and visit for a spell enjoy it with her.

A very interesting and pretty tour. That 2nd flower with the long nose like the butterfly - (could not resist) is something else. Would that be something new that happened by accidental pollination in the garden?
