THE COLORS OF MY WORLD...

 

Do you use certain colors

 for certain times of the year?  
Looking back through

 a collection of past photos, 
I can see that I do,
 although I wasn't totally aware of it.

In January,

 after the holidays are over 

and the snow people come to visit, 

there is candlelight and warm colors 

with bits of Christmas left behind.

When January is over

 and February rolls around, 

there is a lot of pink and pastels 

with some red in consideration

 of Valentine's Day...

...but then 

the promise of spring

 lends itself to

 greens and yellows.

Then there is Memorial Day

 and on into July when 

the patriotic colors

come on strong.

When summer hits with full force,

 blue and white

 along with pretty flowers

 will again return just by themselves

 and that seems to take care 

of that part...

... but late summer and autumn 

need some sunflowers

 mixed in with dried hydrangeas 

and velvet pumpkins.

Around here 

the holidays are always 

red and natural greens 

with the colors of each room 

thrown in.

In spring this year 

the grass is brightly vibrant

 and the valerian is 

beginning to show up...

just beyond the garden gate.

The spring, this year,

 has been wonderful.

Just the right amount of

 breezes and sunshine...

..

...life gave us a few lemons

 but we didn't have to

 make any lemonade...

...just the sort of weather 

that one would wish for 

all year long.

I hope that all you moms had

 a wonderful Mother's Day.

 I want to tell you about 

the Mother's Day present

 I got from Tami and Tim.

 

 Have you heard about 

The Flower Letters? 

 Twice a month, for one whole year, 

I will receive a letter

 delivered, the old-fashioned way,

 by the postman. 

 The correspondence is between 

Audrey Rose Drollinger 

and Corporal Charlie Henderson Burke. 

 The letters take place 

during World War ll 

and are centered on 

one of the most significant days in history,

 June 6, 1944... D-Day. 

 Their relationship develops 

through their correspondence 

and the significant role 

they each play 

in the day's events.  

They are thrilling stories of

 history, mystery, adventure and romance. 

 I can't wait to get the first letter 

and will happily share with you

 their journey

 along the way.

...Judy...

I would like to extend

 a huge thank you to Linda 

for including my lilacs

 as one of the features last week

 at Love Your Creativity.

Thanks so much, Linda.

The pleasure was all mine.
