Remember that movie, “Pretty in Pink,” with Molly Ringwald back in the eighties?\u00a0 I loved that movie and still watch it when I catch it on tv.\u00a0 But this post has nothing to do with that.<\/p>\n

I was walking around my garden and noticed that the prevalent color right now is pink.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6563\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Zinnias.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6561\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gerbera daisies.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6565\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hydrangeas.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6562\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Geraniums.<\/p>\n

Not sure what this is called, but it is so pretty.<\/p>\n

Speaking of pink, er, red.\u00a0 I have been a red head for almost one week.\u00a0 I have learned a lot from doing this.\u00a0 Some people who know you and see you only one way act very shocked when you do something so out of character or look so different.\u00a0 I am not surprised.\u00a0 When I go by a mirror or a window and see my reflection, I have to stop a moment and make sure it is me. I am still a blonde in my mind, so when I see myself, it is a little disconcerting.\u00a0 It has given me a whole new outlook on life.\u00a0 I feel braver some how.\u00a0 Anyway, at least for a few weeks I will remain this way until I make a visit to my beautician.\u00a0 Boy, will she be surprised.\u00a0 I also have doctor and dentist’s appointments in the next few weeks and I am looking forward to their reactions.\u00a0\u00a0 I’m going to see one of my best friends in a few weeks.\u00a0 The last time she saw me I was a blonde.\u00a0 I may call her and warn her, or not.<\/p>\n

David decided this week to put a new door in my shop.\u00a0 It’s not really a new door. It’s half of the old patio door we took out this Spring.<\/p>\n

David made a big hole in the side of my shop.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6604\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After much huffing and puffing he managed to get the door installed.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6627\"<\/a><\/p>\n

He added some pretty trim.\u00a0 All that is left to do is paint the brown around the door.\u00a0 It was too hot to do this.\u00a0 I’ll do it when the temperatures go down again.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I can look out and see the garden, the hot tub and the porch.\u00a0 The dogs can also look in and watch me.\u00a0\u00a0 My shop is lighter now so all the work was worth it.<\/p>\n

Speaking of gardens, this is what I picked this morning. The slightly pink tomato is an heirloom tomato.\u00a0 They are so pretty and very meaty and good to eat.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6580\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A few days before, I had picked all this plus gathered a couple of eggs.\u00a0 We could eat very well from our garden and from the chooks right now.\u00a0 I had fried eggs for lunch today with\u00a0 tomato slices.\u00a0 It was so yummy.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN6634\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A friend from church gave me these quilt blocks that her mother or grandmother had made.\u00a0 All stitched by hand.\u00a0 I am slowly sewing them together into a quilt.\u00a0 The blocks were all different sizes so I have had to do some trimming, but they are all going together well.\u00a0 I love the old fabrics.\u00a0 Mary Lee told me it was probably scraps of fabric from clothes and flower sacks.\u00a0 I love old quilts and I really love people who give me old blocks to sew together.\u00a0\u00a0 I hope I can get this done soon so I can show it to her.<\/p>\n

While cleaning my shop and going through patterns and quilt books, I found this pattern for a Christmas quilt.\u00a0 I plan to make this in the near future.\u00a0 I think it’s so cute. It’s from a book with several Christmas projects and ornaments, many of which I would like to try.<\/p>\n

“Are you looking at me?”\u00a0 Yes, Belle, I am. Want to go for a walk?<\/p>\n

When your dog wants to walk, you must take her.\u00a0 Bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
