In the garden on a Pink Saturday

I am truly enjoying summer in the garden. Most of the roses are putting new shoots again; new buds are forming and soon they will be embellishing the garden for the second time around. In the meantime the summer bloomers are here; getting ready to go on stage... it’s their time to glow, time for the butterfly bushes, and hollyhocks and the glorious gladiolus to reign. It’s the time of the butterflies—the winged fairies that I so love seeing floating from tree to tree, from bud to bud; from flower to flower atop the waves of the wind...
Beverly, at How Sweet the Sound is celebrating another "Pink Saturday", and I'm joining in. I love playing with shades of pink... How about you, what's your favorite color?
Have a lovely weekend everyone!

And don't forget to come back on Monday for another

"SHOW OFF YOUR COTTAGE MONDAY"!

  9. You have such beautiful and lovely pink roses. Those are the softest shades of pink!

    After I came here, I was called away so returned to look at your garden photos as your woodland sounds track was playing. What could be more perfect?!

  18. I just love all of the outdoor vignettes that you put together. I wish that I had enough imagination to do those. :)

    I love pink too. I have to admit that yellow is my favourite colour though. Yellow and Pinks! I'm in heaven. :)

    As always, beautiful.

    ((Hugs))

  20. Hello Cielo ~ Ive had a hard day, just crazy really. Kids do that to a person. I started doing my blog/post thing and came across you. I think my blood pressure dropped by 20 point just going through your gardens. I feel like if I stared for a few more moments, all my children would find would be an empty chair in the morning and I would magically melt away into your cottage life. Thank you thank you thank you ~ I really needed this time away. Dee xo
