A lot of superlatives there, but I think you'd concur. Gina is such a talented artist with her ceramics, her flowers and so much more. How wonderful that you were able to visit her. <br />Smoke is obscuring our skies these days, too. Today is the worst and it's recommended that we all stay indoors as the particulate matter is quite high. We need rain desperately.

Grapes are ripe, vegetables are ready for picking, apples, plums and pears are weighing down the trees and as you know, champagne is always on ice.

Gina did all the stunning interior paint finishes, tiled floors, walls, backsplashes etc. I have more photos to share but you can look back on Gina's beautiful blog and find many posts over the years showing exactly the work they did. Such a lovely, and very special couple, we certainly felt blessed being their guests. <br /><br />Hope all is well in the NC mountains. We are having terrible storms here at night, quite scary. Another one on the way today too! This has been a terrible summer - or perhaps a non-summer!<br />Mary xMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-37464940812978126022018-08-20T09:47:55.912-04:002018-08-20T09:47:55.912-04:00What a beautiful home and farm!
