CONTESSA! HELLO! My goodness, this is such a beautiful place you have here! Your garden is very similar to mine in that I have white drapes in my enclosed patio, arbors, many stone features, BUT…I want a chandelier for my garden! You are lovely, and your kind words today have made my day. I am glad that you are now receiving my blog posts! You are welcome any time! Anita
Oh that cat! Your garden is fantabulous. Does such a word even exist? Hope you get your rain. It might sprinkle here too. So I’m happy.
Your garden is beautiful! I love the clematis. And those portraits are fabulous! Enjoy spring!
Ma chere Contessa,
This tantalizing photographic walk through your garden is a breath of Spring! T’is pure joy to oogle the yellow and cream palette and delight in the petal soft freshness of your gorgeous roses.
And ohhh..the hidden surprises, a sparkling chandelier sways here, a veil of curtain hangs gently at the end of a pathway, lazy cat lies flat on the bricks warm in the sun. I should be so lucky.
Merci beaucoup for visual treat!

Oh gosh, LC, everything is showing like crazy, stunning. And love those curtains guiding you to more wonderfulness! I can smell the roses from here. I wish we could get more rain this week apparently very sunny and hot! what in the heck is happening?
Your garden so reminds me of Penelope’s. Tumbling roses everywhere, and maybe of Trish’s as well. It is completely totally YOU! And, the fact that you love all living creatures makes me so happy to know you, I’m always surrounded by dogs and when they go to the groomer I actually miss them. Now, what on Earth can one say about those incredible artworks of you? These are gifts given with much love and ones that will last a lifetime. The best kind. xx’s
I’m in Iris, Rose & Clematis heaven. Hope you get some rain to keep all that gorgeousness fresh and watered. Have a wonderful weekend. Paul x
In your garden of beauty you are the fairest of them all. Dear beautiful rose you are!!
Oh my goodness, your gardens are just exquisite. How lovely. I would love to curl up in the sun, just like that marmalade cat, and sleep the day away among the luscious bloom of it all! Gorgeous illustrations, too!
BTW, I’m not exactly sure why, but your posts don’t come up on my blog reader, even though I’m following you.:-( I’ve missed so many! I’ll have to play a bit of catch up…
Have a wonderful weekend! XOXO
Absolutely stunning my dear … just like YOU! You can add that hanging chandelier to ‘our list’. I not only have that exact one … but several others in the garden! I adore your peonies and clematis .. I have been unable to grow either … your garden must be such a sanctuary for you! Thank you so much for sharing such beauty!
I love Beth’s illustrations of you! She is such a fabulous talent!
Have a wonderful weekend my dear!
xoxo

Such a glorious and magnificent garden which I have had the pleasure of wandering about and of course those gorgeous animals! Heard you had been in a drought so hope for your sake you do get some rain. Both illustrations and photos of you are wonderful too!
The garden, the pets and the Contessa are beautiful! Delighted to see my illustrations in such fine company!
Dear Contessa, I am in love with your garden! So lovely. I just was remarking today that my roses are the best they have ever looked in the 5 years here. I adore your white roses and all the pets and chandelier! I think I’d like to live there!! Beautiful. Also the portraits are darling. Hard to believe the last is a painting. It’s lovely. Enjoy the flowers!! xx Kim
The garden. AHhhhhhMAZING.
Dog pic of the pair toward the end. Very rich.
How I wish it was us together walking thru your garden with the dogs.
What is your exterior color trinity???
Love the art.

AHA!!
It is called a “SPORT”!!! (when the original color of the flower is changed..and all of a sudden one comes back!”
Tara is that right? That is what my Mommie taught me! There is one branch on my Mommie’s azalea! It is all this mass of pink blooms….and then is one branch of fuchsia!
That azalea in a pot is 65 years old!
Looking better than me!!!
When you come west…….you will love La Contessa in Orinda…..and you have to come see me too!!!
and Lotusland!!!
Love those iris! Wonderful yellows and creams
What fabulous illustrations! I can’t believe that one by David Terry isn’t a photograph! I had to look several times,and still it looks like a photo. What amazing talents! Your garden is glorious looking! xoxo
