Imagination and the Tickle Trunk

 
First he was King Arthur, then he found the fox furs and transformed himself into a fur trader.  These children don’t know Mr. Dressup’s Tickle Trunk but they enjoyed the treasures in our old trunk just the same.

Tis the Season… for Daylilies

 
So much more than the traditional orange lilies, daylilies of many kinds abound at Roseneath Country Inn B&B or you can visit Red Lane Gardens in Iona PEI to see 600+ cultivars!

Not an Election in Sight but

   
Roseneath Country Inn B&B has a newly paved driveway!  July 8th was the coldest on record in PEI but the next day we warmed our yard with hot asphalt and rerouted everybody to our grassy front lane for a few days.

Unexpected Tourists

The house is full of (real) tourists but these two wandered along the Confederation Trail, munched their way upriver across our front yard, brought out the RCMP to control traffic on Highway 4, and eventually were taken back to their home on Georgetown Road.

Lupines, Lady’s Slippers & Red Fields

  June is definitely PEI’s most colourful month:
soil bright red after rain, new green growth, wild lupines in the ditches, lady’s slippers in the woods. Take a short virtual tour or come visit before it changes.

The “Pretty Days” Have arrived!


 
Each winter Ed’s mother would say “The pretty days will come”.  We think June in PEI definitely rates as “Pretty Days”.
Enjoy our garden on-line if you cannot be here, and imagine its sweet fragrances.
