I thought I would share with you a few pretties

I snapped at the garden center this morning.
It is still raining, so I thought if I can't work in the garden,
I should shop for the garden:-)

Yes.. I had to bring a couple pretties home with me:-)

Like a couple of the lovely Hydrangeas in the first photo.
It is Forever and Forever.
I am crazy the double pink flowers!


And...
I have been tring to remember...
to share with you
this funny sign that was outside the garden center a few weeks ago!

Don't forget to visit
Mary at Little Red House

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Thanks for visiting me today,

Wildflowers...

Today being the first day of my husband's vacation,
we decided to take a little day trip
and see if we could find the sun.
It's been absent here at home for a couple weeks.

We found a little sun there and had a great time
just relaxing.
I love long car trips!

So we drove across the Cascade mountains south of Mount Rainer.
Along the way I snapped some photos of wildflowers
to share with you.

The wild Lupine covered the hillside,
and smelled so sweet!


The rest of the flowers I don't know the names of...
bright and sunny yellow flowers...


Isn't it elegant?


The hummingbirds were crazy about these,
but my camera wasn't fast enough :-)


More cheery yellows...


so small and delicate...


The hills were covered with these tall yellow flowers,
they were a little past their prime,
but still made a lovely display.


and just for fun... a Magpie.
aren't they pretty?
We don't have them at home
 and they are always a treat to see.

My husband grew up in Eastern Washington,
and fondly remembers the Magpies from his childhood.

Today I am joining Today's Flower
Come join this fun group to view flowers
 from around the world!


Thanks for visiting me today,

So.... I made a Cake,


Sweet and Fluffy Pink Icing...


Then I decorated it with Flowers!

I have always wanted to do this..
and thought this way the perfect time
to be uber girlie!


A Ring of Pink Panda Strawberry Blooms..
Clusters of Tiny Cecile Brunner Roses,
and Wisps of Cat Mint.

A Pink Delight!



Happy Birthday Pink Saturday!
