Happy Pink Saturday little Sweeties!!!!!I know you're going to want to see loads more PINK.....so
head on over to see Miss Beverly at:

You're going to LOVE it!
So, that little green pot of baby tears is one of my very favorite pots! It's a cute little cement pot underneath all of that "hair"... :-) It dies every winter, but always comes back in the spring. The little blop of white? Yeah, that's a little bird that's just LOST in all of that green hair.
This is what I see from my kitchen. Bellamere Cottage is just that....a beensie cottage...and the yard? Yep, the same......SMALL....but I LOVE it! I can't begin to tell you how much pleasure and joy this tiny plot of land gives me. It makes my heart sing!
When we downsized we looked at condos.......While there is so much to be said for that style of living, it didn't quite suit us, so we bought the teeny house with the tiny yard instead.
Perfect for us!
And, true to form, just like my house........I'll stuff it as full as I possibly can!We have one of the canvas style gazebo's out there. I've thought about the permanent solution for the entire six years we've lived here. I finally came up with the perfect idea about two weeks ago. It'll be in the plans for next summer. That is if my half-husband isn't married and way too busy with projects for his little missus by then! :-)
(Yeah, I posted this story awhile back....There is nothing "weird" going on...)
It makes me smile!
See those petunias in the middle there? Yep, that's actually a flower pot of tunies! WOW! They really love that spot. I'll remember that for next year.
And, the tall pink flowers? Cosmos! They're HUGE! I love 'em. Gosh they were easy to grow. I've never tried them before.
To the left? Yes, those would be my roses. I do NOT like this variety at all. I don't remember what I bought, but they get watermarked and look yukky. I'm so disappointed.
I hope you all enjoy your PINK weekend!
God bless all of you. You're just the BEST!
Hugs and Lovies,
Spencer
