summertime at the card party

I decided to celebrate summer at Vee's monthly Card Party.
I wish I lived in this house. I don't even know who does, it's just up in
a small Pennsylvania town near where the Gardener grew up.
The Gardener's tomatoes...from a previous growing season. We're not quite here yet this year.
Rest in the mountains. Yes, that's the spine of a Jan Karon book.
Homegrown by a friend. These all were in previous posts, but I don't remember where. 
Vee gave me the idea of looking on Fli--r  for my old photos, and it was sure easy! 
Then I doctored them a bit with an "urbane" look at picmon-ey.
Join the fun at A Haven for Vee.

  2. I love the daisies...they are such a happy flower! And Jan Karon is a favorite author. We have the audio books and listened to them on the 11 plus hour trip from NC to FL. It sure makes the trip go by faster...or it seems to!

  5. Oh we can imagine what that home would be like inside...large square rooms with a beautiful open stairway in the foyer. Yup. I could talk myself right into wanting to live there myself. The rocker with the Jan Karon book just there to be picked up when one is finished rocking, thinking, watching, praying...perfection!

  8. Really nice photos. How I would love to see the inside of that house and sit on that porch reading a Jan Karon book. We did pick our first tomato last week. Yummy.

  29. I 'collect' houses too! One of these days I'll have to post a favourite or two.
    I'm not surprised that it's a Jan Karon book on the table in that welcoming chair-scene. I love her books and have given them as gifts a number of times.

    I am a Jan Karon fan and I think I could sit in that rocker on that porch and read for hours!

    I'm counting the days til the tomatoes turn red. Yum!
    Jan Karon is terrific! I have many of her books. What a great place to relax and read. A vacation in and of itself!
