These were the pretty flowers in our bedroom at Huka Lodge and will share some more photos of this beautiful place in the next post.
Last week, we spent a night away for my husband's birthday.
I love the changing of seasons, and winter is now here with us.
The winter coats, hats and scarves have come out and the cozy quilt is now on the bed keeping us warm.
I am still busy painting the lounge and it is the preparation work that seems to take
such a long time, painting the undercoat on the wooden joinery,
windowsills and skirting boards. I look forward to the part where it
all comes together and the room finished.
Embrace the season, and to you all in the Northern hemisphere, hope
you are enjoying summer and to us down under - enjoy wrapping up warmly.
To everything there is a time to play
Hope you are able to have a fun weekend.
Hugs
Carolyn

Can't wait to see the photos of your trip and of your lounge. So funny how our seasons are opposite. My favorite time of all will always be the Fall.

Beautiful flowers, Carolyn. They look like freesia. I had those in my wedding bouquet.
ReplyDeleteHow nice that you and your husband got away for a nice weekend for his birthday :)
My favorite season is fall although that means that winter is soon to follow.
You are having to keep warm and this weekend we are facing 100 plus weather :)

What lovely flowers. It's so nice to enjoy them when the weather is cold. We are planning to spend summer time in Florida this year so it will be hot. I hope we can paint our bathrooms this summer but it's going to be a lot of preparation to get them ready, too!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, The flowers are beautiful. I am so glad you and hubby could get away for a bit.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about painting. The prep work seems to take forever but that is what creates the finished look one wants. Be sure to share when it is finished.
Stay warm xo Ginger

say Hello to you today :)
ReplyDeletenice flower by the way,
I can't imagine that it's already winter, how strange. But if I look trough te window, it looks like autumn...instead of summer.
ReplyDeleteDear greetings,
Renny
I love the seasons as well. I must say the boiling 40deg. days I'm not in love with, but winter is wonderful, even though it is cold. How could we cope with out the Colour of Autumn and the flowers of Spring. We are blessed.
ReplyDeleteHugs
I sure could use a cool breeze right about now. The a/c runs 24-7 around here. Have a wonderful weekend. Best wishes, Tammy

Hi Carolyn, glad you enjoyed your time away for your husbands Birthday. Am sure all your hard work will be rewarded, there's nothing like re-decorating and a fresh coat of paint to lift your spirits. As they say "a change is as good as a holiday". Happy week-end, keep warm, hugs Robyn x
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers!
ReplyDeleteOddly enough we're wrapping up warmly here this summer! Coldest June I've ever known!
Hi Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers in the bedroom of your little trip are very very nice! I love flowers, you know it!
I also love the changing of seasons, but my favourite season is the autumn: I love its colors, the days that are getting shorter, the warmth of the summer just ended ... and preparations for the approaching Christmas!
I have often wondered how Christmas is for those who live in the Southern Hemisphere, since it is summer for you...
I think it's so different!
A big kiss and good weekend!
Monique
Beautiful indeed my lovely friend.
ReplyDeleteLove Jeanne
Love embracing a new season!
ReplyDeleteJust summer here :)

Hi Carolyn! I love white flowers...these look very pretty:) Have a fabulous weekend!
ReplyDelete~Anne
OH YES, playtime is on the top of my list!!!!! What beauty is found in a white flower.....I love white for so many reasons, but one reason is the empty canvas is gives us to IMAGINE and DREAM of what we would add to make it DIFFERENT!
ReplyDeleteLovely display my dear and thank you again for participating in the unforgettable Paris party!!! Anita
Hi Carolyn!
ReplyDeleteI too am in the midst of painting. What a load of work this is! It's a slow and steady journey but well worth it as I'm sure everything will be lovely.
My favorite time of year is Fall. Here in the pacific northwest our summers are slow to start. We will begin to get warmer weather in July and Fall will begin in October.
Your flowers are so pretty :)
Enjoy your weekend.

Lovely flowers! Your post was a cool spot in our otherwise very hot day here in Arizona.
