after several complaints about my blog taking too long to load I've decided to post pictures not in size BIG anymore, I'll chose size MEDIUM instead, let's see if this helps, I hope so! I know it takes long to load when you are still on a dial up, but normally it should be okay with broadband/fast internet. For me it always loads within a few seconds. Please let me know if you are still experiencing any major loading probs. Thank you!
First of all I wanna thank everyone who has attended my little rose-tea-party, it was such a pleasure to welcome so many of my dear blogging friends and neighbors at the "Boxwood Cottage" ! :D Now let's go and continue the tour through my little cottage garden back yard:
I still have a lot of blooming flowers, the Cosmos on the right in the picture below is a big flowering bush now:
I've sowed this Hollyhock for the next season, but it has decided that the time is too long to wait and to flower already right now:
The sedum is kind of glowing in the warm fall sun:
Happy weekend to everyone who might pop in here! xox

So wie ich das jetzt verstanden habe haben manche Blogger Schwierigkeiten damit, dass es zu lange dauert bis die Fotos geladen sind. Also bei mir klappt das sofort, allerdings haben wir halt auch einen DSL Anschluss. Ohne den sind die Ladezeiten bestimmt recht lang.
Wish your a nice weekend
I'm so disappointed I missed your tea party! I do hope you'll have another one! As always, your garden looks utterly delightful, all thanks to your hard work I'm sure! Clare x
You're garden inspires me so much! I can only dream to have such a beauty in my back yard! I wish I lived closer to you so I could experience it in real life.
Oh Carol ...
Blogger is happy with your pictures today as am I.
What a beautful home. I think I must have seed from that hollyhock! Please? ::giggle:: lovely!
You have even thought of the birds & I wish only to sit at that gorgeous blue table to watch it all.
I have always thought that the garden is the place we truly live in ... For me at least. The cottage is there because sometimes it rains.
Boxwood Cottage is wonderful. Inside and out. A dream.
=^..^= zU
Thank you for the note ...
Yes Franz is doing grand things!
I just know it!
Oh Carol, your garden still looks phantatic and colourful at this time of the year. Thanks lot for lovely Rose Tea Party, I really appreciated the invitation... ;-'))
Those two little birds are so cute.
Have a wonderfull week-end!
Schau mal Carol wer dir hier schreibt ;-) Ich kann Bilder sehen, und zwar alle! Egal ob klein oder groß *juhu* Du hast es so schön, drinnen wie draußen.
LG*N
Your site loads fine for me Carol, just a little slower than some, maybe because of the number of posts on your front page?
Your garden is still looking so lovely. That hollyhock is wonderful. I've not seen that color before. I love my Autumn Joy sedum. It is blooming in my garden right now too!
Thanks again my dear, for the lovely tea and garden tour.
Your garden is truly magical, what an excellent job you have done. I like the little wire table in front of the wicker "sofa" I think.

Haa, your cute birds reminds me of something....my Woodpecker cottage. LOL
Your Hollyhokes are beautiful. What will happen to them if they bloom now? Will those flowers bloom any more next year?
I have these also but I'll see the blooming next year. I dont even remember the colour I've chocen. Hope its pink!
Nice mosaic, lovely picktures.
Ah Blogger has been kind enough to let me comment on your site today. I loved the tea party and the tour of your garden. Your garden doesn't seem large but there seems to be so many parts to it and things in it. You will have to draw a plan of it. I think our plants are behaving very strangely this mild autumn.
I've been enjoying your site for sometime now but had dialup and didn't always have time to wait. I was very excited to check your pics out now that I have DSl. Love all your pics! Your garden is fabulous!
I've never had a problem with your site, but now I am wondering if my site is giving anyone problems. I guess they will tell me like they told you. You are so lucky to still enjoy nice mild weather. Your garden is still lovely!
Your garden flowers are just absolutely breathtaking. I love the Hollyhock, my goodness, I have never seen a more perfectly formed flower! I could just drink it in all day. I do not have a green thumb, but I adore nature and beautiful plants. :)

I am a gardener from Phx, Arizona. We garden year round... but it very different from the gardening we did on our dairy farm growing up in Wisconsin.
I will need my "Carol's garden in Germany" fix every day!
