It’s that time of the week again… time for the Hooked on Fridays blog party hosted by Julia at Hooked on Houses!! :-)
Not only is it the beginning of the weekend, it’s even better — it’s the May long weekend here in Canada (Victoria Day is next Monday) :-) And that means two things — an extra day off and it’s time to garden!!!
Perennials have been growing for a while, but traditionally we don’t plant annuals here in Eastern Ontario until the third weekend in May. Theoretically, by this time all danger of overnight frost should be past. Although I remember a few years ago madly trying to cover up all my flowers with tarp because Mother Nature decided to go all nasty on us. She can be such a…. meanie ;-) (Well guess what – Environment Canada has issued a “special weather warning” for frost on Monday!! Mother Nature is way worse than a meanie!!!!!! Grrrrr…..)
So in honour of the big gardening weekend, this week I’m hooked on garden sheds (with a few little garden houses thrown in for good measure). I found a TON of pictures that I wanted to post, but there’s just too many to include them all. If you’d like to check out all the pictures I found, click on the photo album below…
Let’s start off with this humble little stone garden shed ;-) It’s at Oxborough Hall on the National Trust Property in Norfolk, England…
And a few more stone garden sheds…
Colourful sheds…
A modern garden shed (actually a garden room)…
Lots of charming wood garden sheds… I love the first one with the weathered gray cedar shingles and crisp white trellis and trim…
Pretty flowers…
Does anyone else think this one loos like it has two eyeballs??
I think this one is actually a little bunkhouse, but it’s cute and the purple flowers are pretty, so let’s call it a garden shed and include here :-)
Cool hedge in front of this shed…
Neat perspective in this shot with the gloves in the foreground and the shed in the background…
No garden, all shed — and gorgeous blue sky!!
A slighty-askew shed…
This garden shed is in Ottawa and was featured in the Feb/Mar 2009 issue of Ottawa Magazine (The 2009 Interiors Edition). I love the bright red door and how it echoes the red flowers in the yard…
A garden shed in a beautiful setting by the water…
A square shed with a pointy roof. It looks like it even has curtains in the window…
Super-cute thatched roof garden shed. Love the gray bench in front of it…
A quirky garden shed…
Is it just me, or do you find there’s something appealing about old, weathered, neglected/run down buildings?? I’m sure they have a story to tell if you just dig in a bit…
And finally, I have to include this lovely white shed that’s been featured in Country Living and on numerous blogs. It began as a potting shed and was transformed into a greenhouse complete with a tempered-glass roof and chandelier!!
One last shed before leaving…
Now let’s all get out there and dig some dirt!! Oh, but before digging, head back to Hooked on Houses to see what everyone else is hooked on this week :-)
