No new squares today, I’m afraid. I will have to update you tomorrow. My father-in-law was admitted to the hospital 2 days ago with pneumonia. He is in intensive care at a hospital in San Diego and has been sedated. He is 90 years old but was in amazingly good health before this illness. I would be most appreciative if you could send healing thoughts his way.
Pink Saturday & Square #13
Happy Pink Saturday. I’ve been absent for a while for various reasons, not the least of which is the fact that I had run out of pink! But I do have something to share today. I found this sweet vintage hat/headband in an antique shop.
It has beautiful millinery flowers.
I think it was made for a child because, as you can see, Tressa has decided she must have it.
You look beautiful, Tressa!
On to Square #13:
A bowl of cherries.
Please visit Beverly for a list of everyone participating in Pink Saturday. Have a great day!
Signs of Life & Square #12
Ah. I can’t tell you how happy this makes me. The last few days have been sunny and (relatively) warm. The massive yard and garden clean-up has begun. The first thing I do is look for signs of life, camera in hand. Raking the winter cover of leaves reveals little miracles. They are there – peeking out of the ground, buds emerging on bushes like my little lilac. Every year I am amazed at the rebirth of the garden, the grass and the trees. Small signs; but they give me hope after a long winter.
Square #12:
My version of a shabby chic chair…..
We’re in for 4 days of heavy rain. The sunny days are leaving for a bit but the temperature each day is getting warmer. I have a lot to do outside before I leave for San Diego. A lot.
Have a great day.
