White Wednesday and White Clematis

Welcome to White Wednesday at Faded Charm:

http://fadedcharmcottage.blogspot.com/
Down my side path into the back garden is a gate that is topped by an arbor. I have Mortimer Sackler roses growing up it and evergreen white clematis on top of it. It is in full bloom now--the white clematis. It smells like jasmine. I cut a little and put it on the bedside table. It scents entire room.

I believe it only grows in mild climates. I could picture Marie Antoinette walking under arbors of this at her little farm at Versailles.

The gate that it covers is the gate I want to have replaced with my monogrammed gate in iron.

Have a Pink day!

Floating in white for White Wednesday

In my mind swans and ballet are linked. I always think the ballerina's look like swans. Cool and serene on top white their legs carry them across the stage in a sort of glide or slow leap. Tutus look like layered feathers to me. Perhaps each swan was a former dancer in another life?
