Friday Smiles 80: In the Flower Bed


I'm joining Annie at A Stitch In Time for the 80th Friday Smile.  I almost didn't play, and have found myself just now uploading these images to my hard drive and onto my blog.

Nothing of much importance today, because I have not had time to get the photos from last week's trip to Kathy's off my SD card.  So all I have to show is my summer flower bed.  These shots were taken a week before I went to Kathy's.

These shots, with the exception of the first one, were all taken yesterday while it was raining.  I really wish the people who live next door would mow their lawn!  That would really make Bleubeard and me smile.

Don't forget to join Annie at A Stitch In Time for more smiles this week.  And start your weekend with a big smile!

  3. Oh Elizabeth! This has really made me smile - I must say this looks glorious! I must ask though, are the pink flowers the result of the tall buds flowering?
    Hugs, Chrisx

    p.s. your comment about my El Corazon Frida creation being disturbing means my work is done...Frida's art was full of pain and suffering from her life's experiences. Over at AJJ Valerie gave a nice write up of Frida's life which is an interesting read. I always appreciate your input!

Your thoughts are very important to Bleubeard and me. I appreciate it when you care enough to stop by and even more when you leave a short message letting me know you were here.
