Eastern Township Garden and Forest
vue sur la forêt
After four days in a Montreal Airport Hotel, where the view mostly consisted of concrete and hard edges, Constance, Rose and their human were very grateful to have a couple of days in the serene and lovely Eastern Townships of Quebec.
Fraises des bois
On the forest floor they loved finding the evidence of berries soon to come!

These dainty flowers were just exactly Hitty-sized,

Up close and delicate!

They make a perfect flower wreath for Constance.

Rose thinks the Lady’s Mantle plant has very nice lines,

Alchemilla mantle
… but is actually rather delicate and hard to fasten…perhaps better to leave it attached to the plant…

Myosotis sylvatica
The garden, the forest, ever changing, the view in every direction a restorative balm… how happy we are to have experienced this ever so briefly.

Quimper Hittys 
Ahhhhhhhhhh, the healing balm of nature….
Nothing better for the shattered senses…I really appreciated it, and the girls were glad to leave the hotel behind.
So glad there was a natural respite for you all after the concrete of Montreal. It’s so nice to see some of the Quimper Hittys adorned in such beautiful fashions, those that are man-made alongside those freely given and unique only in the natural world
The Airport Hotel served its purpose, but was not at all atmospheric. We so appreciated the little retreat to friends and nature!
Looks very relaxing! I hope you all are having a good time!
It was fun and relaxing, and very companionable.
such lovely photos. Leave it to Constance to find berries….or at least Berries To Be. Glad you were able
recharge the senses in such a wonderful place. Rose is charming in her Lady’s Mantle cape. So clever and sweet.
Yes, Constance has an eye (or is it a nose) for berries, even in the incipient phase! Rose has always wanted a lady’s mantle cape!
Oh how lovely, especially the picture where they are sitting and enjoying the beauty. Lovely little flowers and berries to be.
They really loved this corner of Canada, and were so grateful for the chance to experience it a little.
I keep reading and re-reading this post. The photos are so soothing. I feel sure it was a blessing to you and the Quimper Hittys.
It was a beautiful peaceful and friendly intermission for us – between conference and obligations of “real life”. We are so grateful to our friends for fetching, and spending time with us!
