Another garden tour today in the town of Elmira, and mercifully the heat wave has temporarily taken leave.
This garden-owner had a beautifully restored Victorian home and displayed some of his china collection from the 1800's. This is transfer ware.
It was easy to imagine family members choosing the coolest porch to sit, fanning themselves with paper fans and sipping fresh lemonade.
This closely resembles the doll carriage of my childhood, which I hasten to add was way past the Victorian era.
Garden tours are a reminder that almost any garden is enhanced by a back-drop of sheltering trees and my own less -than- twenty years old place is stuffed with as many trees that the property can handle.
That's my legacy to future owners.
What's not to love about summer?
