ā«Happy Pink Saturdayā«
Gloomy and gray over in my neck of the woods today so all of the pinks shared this Saturday are so special and cheerful. They remind me that there are more colors than just white, gray and black.Your pinks are wonderful! My goodness – so specialāŗ
I hope your weekend is filled with sunshine surrounded by the laugher of those you love.
Please pray for the people of Haiti. May God bless each and every soul.

Those are soooooo pretty. I am with Walt Whitman, give me some to walk though also!
There is a natural law about retirement. People don’t realize it until they retire but, “At our ages we could never get done what needs to be done and work too.”
Happy 6WS! Thanks for peeking in. And on my Ruby Red too!

Lovely pictures! So cheery while we are still dealing with the aftermath of two feet of snow. What are those precious flowers with the scalloped edges! Perhaps geraniums?

Look at those flowers! One of the nice things about Southern Cal in winter. They say rain is headed your way, though but it is much needed in all of the state so we won’t complain.

Thanks for visiting my blog! I liked seeing what poster edges does for a photo–that is very interesting. I must learn how to use Photoshop. I got this huge thick manual for Photoshop from Amazon and I’m feeling overwhelmed with it. Maybe I should get the one for dummies.

Very colorful flowers! I love impatiens too! I have them in pots and in the ground. I love the way they will drape over the edge of tall pots or hanging baskets!

On a recent walk…. oh how I’d love to have that joy. It will be a couple of months before we see such lovely color here.
You truly captured some colorful blooms!
BTW – thank you for your concern and wonderful comment on my roses today. I answered your comment there but please know I am fine. The title Red Roses for a Blue Lady is the title of an old Dean Martin song that I loved growing up.
Thanks for your caring friendship.
Hugs!

Sorry, I am a little slow getting to everyone this week. I posted to CC and PS as well. Love the way you combined them into one post. I will have to give that more thought in the future.
Love your garden shots and add me to the list anxious for spring.
