Hello Darlin

Hello Darlin.

I decided to pop in and let you lovely people know that my daughter is doing fine.

I am on my way back to the hospital and in hopes she will be home today.

Everything went just dandy.  The Doctor told me so.

She is feeling fine.

The paintings of Fairfield Porter make me feel just fine too.

                                                       

 Painting life as it should be.  

People enjoying moments in time outdoors.
Dogs outside. 

Moments that mark the beginning of Summer in my mind.

Boats in the water.
Blue in the sky, where is was meant to be.

Everyone finding a sunny spot to warm up or a shady one to cool down,
or just to drift.

 Wishing a special friend a Happy Birthday and to each of you, Thanks for your kindness and for being such darlin fans and followers.

To me, this weekend always marks the beginning of Summer.
I can hardly wait.

rock the weekend

This weekend officially marks the start of Summer. Block Parties, Parades, Ice cream socials, picnics, movies and concerts in the park. The seasons always are full of good things to keep us all rockin! Rock the weekend people.

The winner of the sea star necklace from Julie Lorusso goes to Ellen, check out her fun blog here where she recreates photos of retirement life. Thanks for your comments and as always your support.

weekend of red white and blue

I cannot help but feel a sense of pride, when I start to see flags hung in preparation for the Memorial Day Weekend. Hearing marching bands, seeing those who have fought for our country wearing uniforms, riding in convertibles or on fire-trucks make me feel all emotional.

Seeing red poppies bursting against the blue of the ocean, make me smile.

Red geraniums, metal watering cans and moments in the garden to reflect and to remember those who so bravely served and to those who continue to do so for the red, white, and blue.

Happy Memorial day weekend to each of you.
