Donna l would love you to take us here again, especially in the different seasons, amazing XXX

[@DonnaDavisArt]

I will do, I was SO sad I couldn't last year, but we weren't allowed to visit one another as you know :/ I so missed Christmas at this house.

[@helenelaine100]

Donna, your mother-in-law’s home and garden are so lovely. What a charming place to live! Thank you for sharing with us!

[@DonnaDavisArt]

IT really is lovely @Helen Schmidt and such a wonderful place for holidays, was so sad we missed all of it last year.

[@sunnygirl87]

Your Mother in law's gardens are lovely. Thank you for sharing. Chock full of ideas!

[@DonnaDavisArt]

You're welcome and I know! I always get ideas @Sunny girl 87 and that's so much of the fun of being with other gardeners, sharing ideas with one another :)

[@stephenknob7540]

What a gorgeous place. To wonder through the gardens and follies with a cup of coffee every morning would be heaven. Bravo to your mother in law! Stephen

[@DonnaDavisArt]

I've done this many a morning and it is magical to be sure @Stephen Knob

[@stephenknob7540]

@@DonnaDavisArt Did the the little porcelain rabbit I sent for Bunny Hall ever arrive at your po box? I guess I sent it about 5 weeks ago. 😊

[@DonnaDavisArt]

@@stephenknob7540 OH yes, I'm so sorry, it did. I had not gone to the PO box in over a month and I went last week. It is adorable thank you so MUCH. It's sitting happily with another Bunny statue on a shelf :)

[@stephenknob7540]

@@DonnaDavisArt I'm so happy it arrived!! Enjoy it! I'm here on the Cape for vacation and I'm so happy!! Looking forward to your next vlog!

[@DonnaDavisArt]

@@stephenknob7540 Enjoy it and take it all in :) Lovely time to be about.

[@darlenepaulden9512]

What a heavenly place 💕

[@DonnaDavisArt]

It really is @Darlene Paulden it's very "homey" and a great place to just take in an afternoon sipping a cocktail and watching the birds.

Beautiful is all I can say, what a setting

[@Arazhul12]

Lovely garden, lots or work

[@madelinestuart8827]

Just beautiful! Thank you for taking us on this tour of your mum's amazing garden and land. I would love to see it again in the Fall!

[@lizwalker791]

What a charming property..love the outbuildings..such character.🌸🌷🌼

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Thank you @Liz Walker Yes I love the outbuildings, Oh I'll show the cute inside of the chicken house next time, another cute 'potting area' with old pots and things.

[@deniseconnors8124]

Dreamy spot- all the little unexpected touches and assorted greenery and flowers! Thank you for the tour 🌿

[@DonnaDavisArt]

You are so welcome @Denise Connors was happy to give a quick little look around. It's been so nice to be able to go and be with family again I missed it ALL last summer.

[@nmurray2152]

Beautiful! So well maintained. I think I’m going to have to get some of those Yucca plants. They are amazing 🤩. Thank mom for allowing us in to the garden.

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Aren't they wonderful? We've had them out at Bunny Hall, but seaside and the wind never lets the flowers get that good, I'm going to get some and move them to the more protected garden spaces I think :)

[@anitamata7264]

Donna would love to back to her home so pretty her flowers , and her chicken 🐓 house so adorable ! Thank you Donna have a wonderful day !

[@judyrobson4492]

I fell in love with your mother-in-law’s garden & home. Such a beautiful spot to live and enjoy gardening. I watched this Vlog 3 times and saw more with each viewing. It lifted my spirits and give me inspirations for my garden, though I live in the hot Australian countryside. Thank you Donna & your generous mother-in-law for sharing it with us. 👌😍💐

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Thank you so much @Judy Robson I need to do another in the Autumn, as she usually does a fine display. I bet you can grow some amazing things in Australia

[@LaReynedEpee]

Compliments to your mum-in-law for a beautiful garden 😘

[@DonnaDavisArt]

I agree, she always inspires me @LaReynedEpee and I love having another avid gardener to chat to and about growing things (and taking cuttings, swapping seeds etc) I have quite a few things at my little cottage Old Kings, that came as starts from this garden. Share the love they say (or penny pinching Puritans as well LOL )

[@helenstella2666]

Oh what a truly delightful place Donna. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us ☺️🌷

[@DonnaDavisArt]

I really do love it here, it feels very "Home" :) I hope you are well @Helen Stella

[@helenstella2666]

@@DonnaDavisArt Hi Donna. It looks so peaceful & tranquil, a place to clear your mind 😊 I’m fine thank you & hope you are too 💕

[@grizeldaxxx4568]

Gorgeous!!!! Love those sweet little outbuildings aka Cluckingham Palace and Potting shed x

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Thank you! 😊

[@marymcfarland2089]

I love you said the potting shed was for dreaming and putzing around...my mother said that all the time. Miss her and thanks for this lovely moment in a family home.

[@candicechristian7344]

So beautiful.. so much to take in.. love her eye for eclectic touches and keeping of memories, of times past.. Such a welcoming place, to all things natural nature.. thank you Donna, for sharing this. Blessings for you and your mother 🙏🥀💕

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Yes @Cadince Christian she is SO good at that. That's why I had to share for example the potting area, where an old family photo and other things just always find a spot and are so curated but in a very 'natural' way. She has an eye.

[@barbarasimmons7637]

What a wonderful home and gardens! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

[@DonnaDavisArt]

You are so welcome @Barbara Simmons I figured I might as well 'take you all along' :)

[@blueyzsf]

Lovely little tour of your MIL's garden. Hope you stay safe and dry during the passing tropical storm!! 😁😁

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Well good morning @Edward Kenneth I hope you are well. Yes LOL the 'storm' for us was just a windy day haha. The winds only hit about 30 mph which is nothing, there was rain and wind, but overall just like any random storm that blows up out here. I see others might not have been so lucky. The gardens were happy but I would have liked a bit more rain to be honest :) I hope all is well in the Village.

[@olainfree905]

Gorgeous home and garden, lovingly maintained.

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Yes I'm always so calm when I go here @ola infree. The endless projects we have at Bunny Hall means this level of order is many years off, but here it is always nice and calm and inspirational.

[@Jasonmarcnash787]

Hello Donna, such a beautiful place to live with a stunning view of the pond. It’s a good use of the swing which has now become the bench. What a lovely place to sit and ponder over life. The garden is always an extension of a living space, it is obviously looked after well and very well loved 🥰 That blue hydrangea is so beautiful, it all depends on the soil to what colour they display. Thankyou so much for sharing 😊😊😊

[@DonnaDavisArt]

I'm so glad you liked it @jason nash and yes the old swing made into a bench is just the sort of thing we do around here, lol, waste not want not and all that ;) Yes the soil does affect the colour of hydrangea and our soil PH here on the cape is such that we get these amazing blues and things like rhodys, azaelas, acers, and blueberries just LOVE it and flourish.

[@marilynnash1197]

Hello Donna. Thank you for sharing Mum's garden. I love it. So many places to sit for coffee. Have a lovely weekend 😊😊

[@cathrynuys7346]

So beautiful there. Thanks for sharing. 🌻

It really is @Cathryn Uys and I feel like I didn't even do it justice :)

[@magdastar2249]

A gorgeous garden. Nice to see you Donna and your music choices are always lovely. ❤👍💐

[@patriciafay-magiera1304]

Donna - Wonderful, as always. I could sense your enjoyment, respect and love of Mum's garden. I agree with Katrina!May we come again in the different seasons. Hope all are well! Patricia Seaside. CA

[@janeys8420]

In England we call your money plants Honesty. We let them dry and they make beautiful arrangements as they dry a beautiful silver.

[@DonnaDavisArt]

We actually call them honesty here as well, but also go by the term 'money plant' and I always liked that name. Yes as they dry and grey they look like 'coins' and my grandfather used to grow vast amounts of them and dry them in his large potting shed, was always a happy memory for me.

[@DixieGirl9876]

A lovely garden, thanks for sharing. We let those "weeds" (Mullein) grow as well, they're used medically too.

[@denisebunker6674]

What a beautiful home and yard! Thank you for the tour. How old is the house?

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Thank you for coming along @Denise Bunker I love it here.

[@forestbirdgirl]

I enjoyed this walk with you Donna through Mum's garden and I'm inspired to make a brick path

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Yes I LOVE a brick path. Those bricks @Forest BirdGirl for the front walk as well as the walk to the chicken house and even in the kitchens surround around the old wood stove and the sitting rooms fireplace were all salvaged from an old building in Boston that had to come down. They have so much character.

[@dollydog1903]

What a beautiful hosta. It looks like Sum and Substance.

[@pennylane9155]

Such a beautiful tranquil spot. Amazing views of the water!

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Yes she's very lucky with the spot @Penny Lane it's a quiet tranquil spot, not many homes on the pond (lake) either and surrounded by woods and old houses too :)

[@carawinsorhehir]

beautiful spot for a swim!

[@DonnaDavisArt]

It's a great 'swimming hole' for sure. A very different experience to the sea, but a fun one @Cara Winsor Hehir

[@carawinsorhehir]

@@DonnaDavisArt ive been swimming in newfoundland ponds since may. and weve had the coldest summer, frost in july is heart breaking. 20 days until lalande.

[@DonnaDavisArt]

@@carawinsorhehir How exciting your heading to Lalande! Gosh frost in July? I'm loving our Summer we've had a bit more rain, which I'm loving, but wonderful temps cooler out here for me (70s) but hot in the city (Boston) for my hubby, he LOVES heat LOL. I hope it'll be sometime before we see frost...

[@katrinatoland7553]

Goodness gracious this is absolutely beautiful Donna XXX

[@DonnaDavisArt]

Isn't it @Katrina Toland and my Mother in law was worried as some things were in between blooms, but I said, "We all know July is a sort of in between moment' I've always loved her garden and her home, it feels so 'at home' you just want to grab a cup of tea or coffee and take it all in.

[@cherylthepearl4085]

Thanks so much for sharing. Wow. Just luv the lake and your mom in law’s home. The gardens are so inviting as well. Wonderful and greetings from Chesapeake beach Maryland. 🙏❤️🇺🇸🎉🍦👣👙🦀

I have a black and white MAine Coon.

[@DonnaDavisArt]

They are the best cats. Bob just came to our family, one day he walked in the cat flap (having lost the cat that Summer) and moved in. It was as if he always lived there, we just said the old cat, Boots,gave up one body for the next LOL.

[@maggiegray1698]

Beautiful. Are mosquitoes prevalent there?

[@DonnaDavisArt]

During the summer, yes, usually early morning with the dew or after a rain, but in the warm afternoon not as much. In my garden early morning (I'm a morning person) in Summer I cover up with gloves long sleeves and even a veil on my big garden hat. It's just what I'm used to, but by afternoon the hot sun chases them away.
