Flowers from my Yard

It is Pink Saturday!!!

Today, I thought that I would share with you a few photos of flowers that are blooming in my yard. (See why it is so hard to get in the mood for fall decorating with these beauties?)

I love these fuchsia impatiens. I think they are just beautiful. And the rains we have had from the hurricanes have given them a whole new flush of blooms.

I like to plant them with caladiums. They just go so well together. How do you like my little pink tea cup votive holder? I bought several of these about 3 years ago at Old Time Pottery Barn. (I just love that place.) This is the only one that has survived my child and the neighbor children playing in the yard.

I love Vincas. These little pinks with the hot pink centers are my favorite. They are peeking out from some weeds. One thing about rains from hurricanes. Yes they relieve drought conditions, give us an extra flush of blooms and boy those weeds start coming!!! I also gave them a good dose of fertilize just before Gustauv b/c I knew we would get plenty of rain from that one.

This vinca is HOT PINK really HOT PINK! With a pretty pink center. It came out of the camera red, so I did photo shop it a tad. Then I remembered I have a filter on my camera lens. I probably should have taken it off. Will do that next time.

I love pink flowers and usually plant a lot of them in my yard every year. I think they make just a beautiful presentation in any yard.

Happy Pink Saturday Y'all and remember to stop by Bev's How Sweet the Sound to check out all the other Pink Saturday Posts. To find out more about Pink Saturday, clink on the link my my sidebar.

Glaze

I need to glaze kitchen cabinets and another piece of furniture that I can not move outside. As many of you know, I have little birdies in the house. Right now it is too hot and humid to open the windows and have fans running.

My question is, how toxic is glaze? I have never noticed the smell to be that bad. I am waiting for cooler weather to come before painting my dining room. This is to limit the birdies to the fumes.

I just do not want my little birdies belly up in the bottom of the cage. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Project Plans Waylayed

I was spray painting two projects outside and almost done....

I was doing some work inside while waiting for a coat to dry and low and behold. Out of nowhere... Rain! Yes, rain! Not a cloud in the sky and now rain on my projects! Well, I got them inside. Hopefully the drop cloth will be dry by tomorrow so I can finish the two jobs.

Where did this rain come from? Is this like a washing the car thing? Not get a drop of rain until you have something to paint (or wash your car)?
