Our gorgeous & awesome 9 yr. old Tatiana has on her new pinky shoes & I had on mine ... that's my kid-ling!!!
What better way to stroll than in your best PINK shoes ... c'mon!
We have massive gardens & I am going to share with you just the PINK rhodies at different stags of blossoming ...
Now I couldn't leave out this first rose PINK beauty
As you wander thru my gardens I hope you will enjoy them as much as do I
Every day I enjoy seeing each petal unfold ...
as if reaching toward the heavens
The magic of the colors exposed in each new moment
Into bouquets of massive delicate beauty
The many shades of PINKS that surround me ...
brings a peace & joy you cannot imagine ...
Precious soft gentle pinks
Bubble gum pinks
Ruby rich pinks
Tropical sunset pinks
Please join Miss Beverly, our gracious PINK SATURDAY HOSTESS http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/
And here she stands in full regalia ... right outside our terrace french doors to enjoy. Have a fabulous weekend.

Everybody should just make a conscious decision to be happy & to have a good day - every morning. It's easier to be happy than angry. Anger uses up a lot of energy that could be used for SMILING.
The trick is to figure out a way to live within your means, & want what you have, not what you want.

~ Realizing ~
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.
~ Friends ~
The best kind of friend
is the one you could sit on a porch with,
never saying a word,
and walk away feeling like
that was the best conversation you've had.

Stronger Than Before
"Broken wings take time to mend,
Before they learn to fly again.
On the breath of God they’ll soar,
They’ll be stronger than before.
Don’t look back into the past,
What was fire now is ash.
Let it all be dead and gone,
The time is now for moving on."
~ Janny Grien
Portion of her song lyrics

Life is like a flower, it grows from a seed, blossoms into a precious bud that opens into a glorious bloom ... that one day will fade away.

~ Memory ~
He who is not very strong in memory, should not meddle with falsehoods
~ Friendship ~
Friendship consists in forgetting what one gives & remembering what one receives.
~ Unspoken ~
Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
~ A Friend... ~
A true friend unbosoms freely, advises, justly, assists readily, adventures boldly, takes all patiently, defends courageously, & continues a friend unchangeably.
~ Insight ~
The higher a monkey climbs, the more you see of its behind. (Joseph Stillwell)
Don’t speak to me...
... about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people.
Don't tell me how much you love your god; show me in how much you love all his children.
Don't preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors.
In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give....

When the mirror of life reveals our backside.....our past....do we smile and reveal the love and blessings of Christ? or do we hide amongst the pain that pulls us down?

I don't have pink shoes but I do have pink painted toenails so I think that qualifies me to stroll your gardens. :) Your rhododendrons are exquisite Mary Don. Mine should reach their peak in about 3 more days and then I just have to pick some for the inside. They are so gorgeous! HPS P.S. I was reading your older post and see where the name Mary Don comes from. How pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love all your pink flowers. Viewing your garden is like a glimpse into what our here in the Northeast will look like in a couple more weeks. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday Sweet Sis...
ReplyDeleteI love, LOVE your share tooday. (Now where are my pink sandals? I just know that you picked me up a pair to match? Love those painted toes as well.)
Your gardens are magnificent. I love watching the flowers open. It is such a magical moment, like watching the moon come to life each evening in the sky.
I walked past those areas and felt little tears stain my face, as I have walked these gardens before and such memories came flooding back. We laughed and laughed, we shared stories. Oh those are such beautiful memories for me.
Thank you for bringing me home today sweet sis. I love you so much. All my love, your lil sis, Sherry
I loveeeeeeee the shoes!!! And your garden is just BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteHey girl you are pretty in pink!

Hi Marydon, thank you for stopping by. I'm happy to see you at my new page. Hope you'll visit this new, more lighthearted page that I share with my 19 y/o daughter.
ReplyDeleteI received an adorable thank you note from Angel Dawn. It is the highlight of my blogging journey of over two years. My heart melted instantly, and I have it displayed on our dining room bookshelf.
Your flowers are surreal, and the music playing, along what seems to be sprinkling fairy dust ;) is divine.
Looking forward to many more visits.
Much love,
Marcia

ReplyDeleteI have been trying to subscribe to you blog by email. When I try that feed at the bottom it sends the posts to a email created by RSS. I don't know where it came from or how to get to it. Do you have the simple email gadget activated? I couldn't find it.
Have a great week
