As a Mid-Week photo I love to show you our Gazebo in Summer...
The light is playing through our dogwood and also the Vintage Woodworks ginger bread looks like wooden lace...
Not very visible here but the Aged Copper Aluminum Slate Roof from Interlock Metal Roofing is something we still are very pleased with!

Together with our Balcony, it makes for a favorite spot to enjoy tea, lunch, supper or even breakfast!
The view of the pond and over the garden makes it just perfect.
Enjoy your day; wherever you are!

Goede morgen Mariette ...
ReplyDeleteWat een mooie plek om lekker van je thee te genieten ...
het is jammer dat ik zo ver van je af woonde anders kwam ik zeker een kopje thee drinken.
Mooi die klompjes aan allebei de kanten van de ingang ...
een fijne dag ook voor jou vandaag
Lieve Nieneke,
DeleteJa, je bent van harte welkom maar dat kan helaas alleen maar virtueel gezien de grote afstand...
Die klompjes kregen we van Pieter's Moeder en zij stierf in 1989 toen we nog in Italië werkten en woonden. Die hangen er dus al heel lang en blijven ook ter herinnering.
Liefs en fijne avond!
Mariette
Hello Mariette, Blogger is finally letting me leave a comment today!
ReplyDeleteSummer houses are such a great way to enjoy the leisurely weather of this season, focusing equally on human comfort, old-fashioned aesthetics, and getting close to gardens and nature.
Enjoy yours in good health!
--Jim
Dearest Jim,
DeleteWe sure do enjoy this most favorite spot in the garden where we can be surrounded by the birds, squirrels and even have hummingbirds dive through the gazebo. Overviewing the pond is so peaceful too. Nature is the best medicine for human beings to be fully at peace!
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteDorf fühlt man sich wohl.
Sonnige Grüße

Liebe Elisabeth,
DeleteJa, um hier plaudern zu können über Kaffee oder Tee ist fast himmlisch!
Sonnige und liebe Grüsse zurück,

Hallo Mariette is net sprokje,prachtig,groetjes uit Holland,Irena
ReplyDeleteBeste Irena,
DeleteJa het lijkt nu op een sprookje na al het hárde werk van ontginning en de grond begaanbaar maken door het aanvullen per kruiwagen. We hebben gezwoegd om het zo te krijgen maar dít hadden we altijd voor ogen en het heeft zich geloont!
Liefs terug uit Georgia/USA
Mariette
Good Mariette, Your Gazebo is a beautiful place to sit to enjoy the shade. I love sunshine, but I much prefer sitting in the shade, looking out at the sunshine.
ReplyDeleteI love what looks like lace, but is carved wood which you have added to your gazebo.... you have such a wonderful sense of detail.
Enjoy your day.
Best Wishes to you.
Daphne
Dearest Daphne,
DeleteYes this is a very pleasant spot and with the fan running above head makes it very comfy to sit and relax.
Don't you think that 'lace' can come in many varieties, even carved out in stone like one can see at the Taj Mahl e.g. This wooden lace work is so lovely and it sure did add a very romantic touch to our home and gazebo. More in the style of Gone with the Wind...
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette ,what a wonderful place to have your afternoon tea!Your gazebo is so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI like the Dutch wooden shoes that you decorated it!Thank you for sharing!!Have a lovely day!Hugs!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteThank you and yes, it is our most favorite spot for afternoon tea and coffee!
The Dutch wooden shoes are from my dear Mother-in-law and will remain a fond memory of her. They are hanging up for over 30 years now; first at our previous home.
Enjoy a lovely evening yourself.
Hugs,
Mariette
Your gazebo is so beautiful. It must feel really nice to sit down there and spend some time having tea, dining, reading, relaxing, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a bit chilly in the morning. Feels unusual in August in Georgia. But I think it's very pleasant to have breakfast outside :-)
Dearest Tamago,
DeleteWe thoroughly enjoy our gazebo, it is such a lovely place to sit quiet and relaxed, in the midst of nature. Our felines always do join us and lie around on the wooden deck floor.
Indeed, with lots of over cast the temperature has been a lot milder for the time of year. Usually August can be oh so hot; but this is pleasant!
Enjoy your little deck with the boys.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing such a cool and calm area of your home. Perfect for Summertime.
Dearest Munir,
DeleteIt is perfect for summertime and even far into the fall for our area. So glad you enjoyed it.
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletedas ist ein so wundervolles romantisches Plätzchen - herrlich zum Entspannen -
mit Freunden oder auch nur zu zweit - mit Blick auf euer schönes Haus....
herzliche Grüße - Ruth
Liebe Ruth,
DeleteJa es ist ein Lieblingsplätzchen und wir geniessen auch sehr davon!
Danke für deine liebe Zeilen.
Liebe und sonnige Grüsse,
Mariette
Een idilliss plekje om te zitten, iets uit een film van vroeger, met dames met lange witte jurken aan :) ik zie zels wat hollandse klompen hangen.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJazeker, het heeft iets van 'Gejaagd door de Wind'... door de bouwstijl met het mooie houten ginger bread. De houten klompjes zijn nog altijd een dankbaar aandenken aan mijn lieve Schoonmoeder van wie wij ze kregen in 1983. Ze blijven opgehangen; waar we ook wonen.
Liefs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette... Your gazebo is lovely year round but it really comes into its own in summer. Such a pretty place to eat and relax.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.........*s*
Dearest Suzi,
DeleteThank you and yes, in summer this is very lovely to eat whatever and to relax.
Wishing you a lovely day as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletean solch einem hübschen Ort würde ich auch immer gern Zeit verweilen. Ich stelle mir das Frühstück im Pavillion herrlich vor. Hoffentlich könnt ihr es noch eine Weile geniessen. Der so langsam geht es doch wieder dem Herbst entgegen.
Alles Liebe
Julia
Liebe Julia,
DeleteDanke und wir geniessen es sehr. Im Herbst ist es hier in Georgia vieleicht noch besser da es im Sommer sehr heiss sein kann im Juli und August. Es geht dieses Jahr da es viele bewölkte Tage gab; Gott sei Dank!
Liebe Grüsse,
Mariette
My Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteA perfectly beautiful place to enjoy a summer day! I know how hard you work to take care of your beautiful home and gardens, so you most likely don't get to sit and relax as often as you like, but I am glad that you have this charming and shady spot to contemplate all of your hard work. Lovely.
kisses xo Karen
Dearest Karen,
DeleteIt looks like we've by now mastered the lion share of some 10 years of hard work in renovations and such. Of course the gardens always take much time but at least we find more time to relax and enjoy its beauty.
Hugs and love to you,
Mariette
Dear Mariette, I have always admired your beautiful gazebo in all your previous posts, and I can understand how much you enjoy it during the summer months! It must be very pleasant to relax there surrounded by your big trees. I hope you will have good weather for a couple of months yet.
ReplyDeleteMany hugs!!
Dearest Marie-Anne,
DeleteThank you and yes we look forward to enjoy this gazebo for the next couple of months. The fall can be so lovely here in the south.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful your gazebo is (love the clogs) and looks like the perfect place to relax and have a cuppa and be one with nature with the birds and the bees. Reminds me of a band rotunda in the park, which was opposite the home I grew up in.
About the Anagypta we can buy some of the designs over here in NZ but for some reason they do not keep the Dado one in stock and said they can't get it hence having to try and track it down ourselves.
Happy weekend
hugs
Carolyn
Dearest Carolyn,
DeleteThank you for your kind words and yes, those clogs are from my dear Mother-in-law, given by her when we left for the USA on August 29 of 1983... Almost 31 years in three weeks!
Too bad you cannot find your selection in NZ but even if it is hard to get it, the reward lateron for having found it is even bigger! Patience is the key word...
Hugs and happy weekend to you,
Mariette
Looks lovely. A nice spot to relax and enjoy the day
ReplyDeleteDearest Daniela,
DeleteThank you and at least it is a great spot to relax for part of the day...!
Hugs,
Mariette
what a wonderful place to relax Mariette. It looks wonderfully refreshing, and so lovely that you have water nearby. And in response to your comment on my blog, all three of our children went to/are going to Hillsdale College. It is a great place for an excellent education. We're fortunate it's practically in our backyard (1 1/2 hours away).
ReplyDeleteDearest Deborah,
DeleteIt sure is a wonderful place and we are so happy we did have this built. The pond is lovely to watch and birds are so happy with all those huge trees.
What a small world we live in! We have a lot in common and it is wonderful that all three of your children went or go to Hillsdale College! That is really a great foundation for the rest of their lives and yes, the high morals and conservatism will go a long way.
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletein wundervoller Platz. Hier kann man es sich gutgehen lassen.
Hier kann man entspannen und ausruhen von den Mühen des Tages.
Einen guten Start ins Wochenende wünscht dir
Irmi
Liebe Irmi,
DeleteJa so eine Gartenlaube ist wirklich wie ein kleiner Himmel... Es lohnt sich immer wenn man so nah in der Natur sein kein zwischen den Vögeln und Eichhörnchen.
Liebe Wochenendgrüsse,
Mariette
I hope you get time to sit out there often. It looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteHugs Kay
Dearest Kay,
DeleteYes we sure do and enjoying it with friends is also a great pleasure.
Happy weekend to you.
Hugs,
Mariette
Your garden is a must, Mariette!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place indeed to have tea or coffee, although I'd rather be running after dragonflies or wild boars!! LOL!!
Keep well and enjoy your weekend!
Dearest Noushka,
DeleteWell, from our lovely spot for coffee or tea we can also observe dragonflies and damselflies... No wild boars; luckily!
Enjoy whatever you are chasing with your camera and sending you hugs for a lovely weekend.
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeletewow, was für ein herrlich schöner und gemütlicher Pavillon, hier kann man genießen und sich wohlfühlen.
sonnige Grüße aus Ostfriesland schickt Dir Traudi
Liebe Traudi,
DeleteDanke, und das herrliche ist hier im Süden kann man fast 9 Monate (ohne Regen...) davon geniessen. Die Sommermonate von Juli und August sind fast zu heiss...
Liebe Wochenendgrüsse mit Sonne,
Mariette
What a gorgeous gazebo and such a beautiful spot for afternoon tea. I hope to join you and Pieter some day in that lovely spot for some Darjeeling and tea biscuits.
ReplyDeleteBig Bisous, ma chère amie,
M-T
Dearest Marie-Thérèse,
DeleteThank you and it sure would be lovely if we once will have the time to sip tea together... You are very welcome you know that!
Hugs and happy weekend to you dear friend.

Hugs and Love to you!
Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteSo glad you could visit our gazebo and I only WISH we could sit together and enjoy a tea.
Glad to read that you are doing better; it is not always easy after such a terrible accident. But slowly, one day at a time and if you feel bad, don't feel guilty. You already must try so much harder than any of us.
A big all around hug and know that I do admire you!
Love,
Mariette
Your gazebo is so beautiful; Perfect place to enjoy teas with your friends, Mariette; I would also love to sit there with you surrounded the greenery of you two's efforts in your garden♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteThird typhoon this year to my country is approaching, seems not to directly to my area; wishing no more mudslide etc in Japan... Happy your unusual rainy finally over, my friend!
Sending you Lots of Love and Hugs to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Dearest Miyako,
DeleteThank you so much and yes it would be great to sip together some green tea in this lush and green environment.
Let's hope the typhoon will not be as severe as a couple of years ago; nobody wants that. Even in Hawaii after so many years they were bracing for the first strong hurricane Julio but fortunately he did not hit the state!
I always is a scare for all people living in the region; getting water and food etc. and praying.
Love and hugs to my Japanese friend from Georgia/USA.
Mariette
Dear Mariette, I would love to have a gazebo in the garden. It provides shade on hot days and shelter from the rain. It would be lovely to have a meal there or just sit and read. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteDearest Zosia,
DeleteIt is a very lovely outdoor room to have.
Even though in summer it is very hot and humid and only the fan cannot take hat away. When it rains you might get wet still from the rain that gets blown into the gazebo. We keep our pillows in a bin to protect them from all sorts of moisture.
But we do enjoy it on those milder days.
Hugs,
Mariette
Nu had ik bijna deze prachtige plek gemist. Wat zullen jullie hier veel gebruik van maken.
ReplyDeleteBeste Willy,
DeleteJa, we maken er best veel gebruik van en het is een heerlijke plek om de hele tuin te kunnen overzien!
De mooie tijd gaat weer komen, juli en augustus zijn erg heet hier in het zuiden in Georgia/USA.
Liefs,
Mariette
