“…Avonlea had something that Glen St. Mary could never have…unfading echoes of the old sweet life were all about her…There were haunted gardens here and there where bloomed all the roses of yesteryear. Anne always loved to come home to Avonlea…” ANNE OF INGLESIDE 🎨 Victor Gabriel Gilbert

“I LIKE to be alone now and then, just to think over things and TASTE them. But I love friendship — and nice, jolly little times with people.” ANNE’S HOUSE OF DREAMS #lmmontgomery #anneofgreengables #friendship 🎨 Laura Knight

“The sky was dun and smoky, the glassy water was copper-hued, the air was heavy and breathless. The sea purred upon the shore, lapping it caressingly like some huge feline creature biding its time to seize and crunch its victim.” #LMMontgomery, “Mackereling Out in the Gulf” 🎨 Samuel Hagag #smoke

"They would go to the shore tomorrow...and dip in those silver-tipped waves breaking beyond the green dunes of Avonlea." ANNE OF WINDY POPLARS 📷 Getty #lmmontgomery #anneofgreengables #heatwave

“I honestly feel that as long as I know that little ferns are poking their heads up in Lovers’ Lane, it’s not a great deal of difference whether I win the Avery or not. I’ve done my best and I begin to understand what is meant by the ‘joy of the strife.’” ANNE OF GREEN GABLES 🎨 Heather Howe

“but sometimes, just for a moment, a wind fluttered it and then it was as if she caught a glimpse of the enchanting realm beyond — only a glimpse — and heard a note of unearthly music.” EMILY OF NEW MOON 🎨 David Larkin #lmmontgomery

no pool!

“…one week…was hellish. Then all at once a cold wind began to blow. I rushed into my dressing closet & flung the casement window open & leaned out & just drank it in. I know exactly what a soul would feel that had got out of hell!!" LM Montgomery 1936 letter Art: Caspar David Friedrich

“…she possessed a certain evasive charm…of appearance…her greatest attraction was the aura of possibility surrounding her, the power of future development that was in her. She seemed to walk in an atmosphere of things about to happen.” ANNE OF AVONLEA 🎨 Carl Wilhelm Holsoe

…”if only that dismal rain would stop pouring down as if the whole world were weeping over summer vanished and joys departed! Even Gilbert’s presence brought her no comfort, for Charlie Sloane was there, too…” ANNE OF THE ISLAND by #lmmontgomery 🎨 Fransesco Sessa #lmmi2026 @lmmipei.bsky.social

I kept thinking how much good the rain will do and how glad my garden must be for it, and imagining what the flowers and buds would think when the drops began to fall. ANNE OF AVONLEA 🎨 Alexander Volkov #anneofgreengables

For Anne to take things calmly would have been to change her nature. All “spirit and fire and dew,” as she was #AnneOfGreenGables by #LMMontgomery 🎨 Jungsuk Lee

"I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June." ANNE OF THE ISLAND #lmmontgomery 🎨 William Kay Blacklock

Peace! You never know what peace is until you walk on the shores or in the fields of the winding red roads of Abegweit on a summer twilight when the dew is falling and the old stars are peeping out and the sea keeps its nightly tryst with the little land it loves. ✨ …

“I remember the night you were born in the little house in Charlottetown. It was in #May & a west wind was blowing silvery clouds over the moon. There was a star or two here & there. In our tiny garden everything we had was small except our love & our happiness.” EMILY OF NEW MOON #lmmontgomery

The 23rd of May came, an unseasonably warm day...A hot breeze blew all the forenoon; but after noon hour it died away into a heavy stillness...Anne heard a low rumble of thunder. She promptly dismissed school at once, so the children might get home before the storm came. ANNE OF AVONLEA 🎨 Jim Musil

"girls of 13, going on 14, were too old for childish amusements as playhouses, and there were more fascinating sports to be found about the pond. It was splendid to fish for trout over the bridge and the two girls learned to row in the little dory..." #ANNEOFGREENGABLES 🎨 Abbott Fuller Graves

"MAY days crept away in a sweet succession and the shores of Four Winds Harbor greened and bloomed." ANNE'S HOUSE OF DREAMS 🎨 Andrew Meredith #May #AnneofGreenGables

#Spring had come once more to Green Gables, the beautiful #capricious, reluctant Canadian spring, lingering along through April and #May in a succession of sweet, fresh, chilly days, with pink sunsets and miracles of resurrection and growth. ANNE OF GREEN GABLES #LMMontgomery 🎨Bryce C Liston

If it had not rained on a certain May morning Valancy Stirling's whole life would have been entirely different." THE BLUE CASTLE 🎨 Brigitte Granton

“Fishing boats went white-winged down the channel in the mornings…There was always a certain sense of adventures and farings-forth…the sea called ever to the dwellers on shore, & even those who might not answer its call felt the thrill and unrest and mystery and possibilities of it.” LM Montgomery

THE SPRING WAS ABROAD IN THE LAND and Marilla’s sober, middle-aged step was lighter and swifter because of its deep, primal gladness. Her eyes dwelt affectionately on Green Gables… #LMMontgomery #PrinceEdwardIsland #spring

Marilla, walking home one late April evening …realized that the winter was over and gone with the thrill of delight that spring never fails to bring to the oldest and saddest as well as to the youngest and merriest.… #LMMontgomery 🎨 Anna Cassel #PrinceEdwardIsland

When I lose anything in this life I like to think I may find it in the next. After all, everything in the universe goes in circles, day and night, the seasons, the roll of the planets around the sun. Everything comes back to its starting point and begins again" #LMMontgomery (Lucy) Maud Montgomery

“after I’m dead I’m going to come back to earth every time when the daffodils blow in this garden,” said Anne. “Nobody may see me, but I’ll be here, they’ll just see the #daffodils nodding wildly as if an extra gust of wind had blown past them, but it will be I!” #AnneOfGreenGables

“Spring is so lovely I hate to go to sleep and miss any of it," said Anne. ANNE OF INGLESIDE 🎨 Kaoru Yamada #lmmontgomery #spring
