PINK WEEK AT THE COTTAGE...












It's all about pink here at the Cottage this week.

We are celebrating this pretty color for a number of reasons...






...the second blooming of this old rose bush...






...and the fact that I can use them in a simple arrangement...





...and that these same blossoms dry beautifully.






How many shades of pink can a hydrangea be?






Spotting a pink foxglove in the garden and wondering where that came from!






New shoes that I will take with me...






...when Tami and I leave for San Francisco, at the end of the week, to participate in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, and to celebrate her 11th year, in the pink, as a survivor.






Wishing you all something beautiful in your life...in pink or any other color.


...Judy...






***Afterthought**

...I did not get a decent picture of the fireworks, again, this year...with either my camera OR my phone...






...just sayin'!


I have formally given up!

  2. All the pictures are beautiful. Good luck with the breast cancer walk. My mom has survived breast cancer twice in the last 20 years so this is near and dear to my heart. Good luck and thank you for doing the walk for a great cause. Cute shoes to wear too!

  3. Hi Judy, I knew where you were going with the pink. :) I like your new shoes. Here's to praising God for Tami being a survivor.
    Lucky you to have a surprise foxglove, I cannot get them to grow in my garden and I like them so much.
    Have a great rest of your week,
    Gina

    Love all the pinks, and seriously.... I had no idea that hydrangea pinks could vary so much. Quite beautiful.
    I just love your roses.. growing and dried. Simply romantic. I'll bet your home smells wonderfully of summer.

  6. Hi Judy,

    I love all the pink! It is my favorite color! I can never get a good pic of the fireworks either... they all turn out blurred or just fuzzy.

  12. What pretty photos Judy! Thank you too for doing the Avon walk. I know when I did the Komen 3-day a few years back I had so much fun, and despite a few blisters, I have a lot of wonderful memories with my dear friend Dawn. I hope you and Tami have a blast!
    Thinking pink this weekend in honor of your walk!
