Hey there!

Ho Hum Monday

Finally the rain has stopped, I will have to put the tools back. No need to build that Ark! Although there is another rainy round scheduled for this weekend! Those April showers are doing wonders for the lawn & garden though ( and got me off garden work this weekend)! A much needed break.

I have but just a few glimpses of inspiration this morning.


Keeping my fingers crossed and chanting " Rain, rain go away".........


maybe better weather another day! These are a few pics from various outdoor / indoor orangeries.








The 17th century Orangerie layout at Versailles palace.





A more modern appraoch to an outdoor gathering spot, with classical elements.





Quite the entrance into this country orangerie.





Inside this orangerie from Chateau de deditilly.






I love the architectural elements of this outddoor space.





Another view of an amazing layout of space. The carriage house doors are amazing.

how lovely those pictures are. strangely London has been glorious and rain free for 3 whole days now- which is quite unusual of late (I too spent some of the winter researching materials for an ark, what animals I might take, that kind of thing)

I hope some of the sunshine comes your way

Thank you Rose...
I felt like I was in London this weekend. Rubber boots, field jacket, and a gray overcast, wet sky.
Nice, but when you have to be out & about it is dreadfully cool and no fun to slosh about in!
Thanks for that ray of sunshine!
Thanks for stopping by,
L.
