My First Mosaic Monday: Roses and Nova Scotia


Welcome. I do love roses, particularly if they have a wonderful fragrance. These are some of the ones that live in my garden. As I'm participating in my first Mosaic Monday over at Little Red House, I thought I'd share them with you. Go ahead, take a sniff and then pick a blossom or two for your bedside table!



If maritime scenery is more to your taste, perhaps you'll enjoy these photos of northern Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. It's a captivating place; the mountains and the sea are an inspiring pair!

Thank you so much for visiting and please come again. You (and your comments) are always welcome at My Little Home and Garden.

    One of the things on my Bucket List is to visit Nova Scotia before I die. I loved the Anne of Green Gables books and have always wanted to make the trip. Your scenic shots are lovely and could be on post cards they are so appealing. Your roses are drop dead gorgeous. I am envious of you ladies who can grow them. They are NOT one of the flowers I have success with. Happy MM. Genie

    Mmmmm - beautiful images for this transplanted Cape Bretoner. Now I'm on another island, on the other coast, but CB still calls me.

    Such lovely roses. I think my favorite is the pale pink one in the bottom row, center. I can just imagine the fragrance.

    I live on an island on the other side of Canada, and one day hope to visit Cape Breton Island.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog.

    Oh! I love Cape Breton and Nova Scotia! I've visited a few times and have always been enchanted. The best lobster i ever ate was at a camp in NS.

    Your roses are beautiful! You have such a lovely variety!

    I just discovered you live in Nova Scotia! It is one of my favorite places!! My husband's step-mother lives in the Annapolis Valley. We love to visit and go to the farmer's market in Wolfville. Our favorite place to eat lobster is Hall's Harbour. Oh, I do envy you!
