Summer Inspiration

I am really in the mood for spring and summer, can't wait for it's arrival! I thought I would show you some pictures of my garden.....NOT!!!! These are pictures from a trip that my little sidekick and I made with my parents to see Powerscourt Gardens in Co. Wicklow. Wicklow is known as the "Garden of Ireland". So for all of you who are thinking of traveling to the Emerald Isle and enjoy beautiful gardens then this is for you. I would also like to mention to all of you who like to eat LOL that there is a fabulous restaurant, Avoca, in the main building. The restaurant is too die for and an absolute must for lunch!! I personally like having soup and brown bread for lunch in order to indulge in the most scrumptious desserts you have ever had the pleasure of eating.....



These pictures were taken in August after one of the wettest summers in years. Can you imagine what they would be like if the weather had been sunnier and just a little drier!!
















I only wish that my lawn looked like this, it never ever will. It looks like a lovely soft green carpet and the hydrangeas are so pretty against the wall!! Although keeping a lawn like that would require way too much maintainance so I guess I should just enjoy the fruits of someone else's labor for a change LOL!!

Oh! Gorgeous! And the garden looks lovely, too. ;o)
*sigh* Maybe one day I'll be able to see your fair isle in person. Until that happens, though, I'll just live through your great pictures and writing!

My family and I loved Powerscourt! My son still talks about wanting to go back there. Great picture of your adorable daughter!
