A FLORAL FEAST & OTHER GOOD STUFF

My two favourite roses came back into bloom this week,

the Yellow and the Pink.  I don't know their names;

 they were like that when we got here!

Nothing says Spring like a pretty rose in crystal ...

except perhaps little pansies nodding in the breeze.

Our local plant nursery is a veritable feast of Spring blooms ..

and runs to a hilarious collection of kitsch statuary!

Hello David - Michaelangelo would turn in his grave!

On the When You're Onto a Good Thing basis,

I bought more pots of pansies for the deck.

I have a little garden competition with myself every year,

in which I try to keep pansies blooming in our scorching heat right up until Christmas.  Most years I fail.

Are you enjoying watching Kate's tour outfits?

I think it is all beautifully thought out - Kate-style with a touch of the orient for Malaysia.

 I like this dress, with its unusual lace overlay.

Can't wait to see what she wears in the Solomon Islands.

Meantime, back in the Cardinal nest, I am giving Pastels a whirl:

made some pale yellow sateen pants this week to line up with a mint green scarf and bracelet.

Happy Sunday
