Spring Pinks

I was out taking photos of my flowering plum tree

for Pink Saturday - when I looked across the street

and all I saw was pink!  

"Wait girls!  I have to get a photo of 

your fun boots!"  I called.

"Will we get to be in your book?" one asked.

"Do you mean my blog?"  I responded.

"Oh yeah, " they replied.

"Of course!"  I said as we took photos of their

fun boots.

Here is my spectacular flowering plum in the

front yard.

We lost almost a third of it last year with a late snow.

(We were out of town and came home to broken branches.)

The blossoms held the snow and it broke so many branches

off.  We had a snow emergency this spring too and I

quickly sent hubby out to shake the branches off.

Just like pink cotton candy!  The nursery kids sing a song

called "Popcorn Popping On The Apricot Tree".  This 

would have to be  changed to "cotton candy"  

on the plum tree.

Then they told me they wanted another picture

for the blog, not just their feet!

The oldest one is one of my Young Women at church.

 The little

girls are the ones who love to come and visit

my fairy garden.  The fairies should be returning

soon if the weather gets warm!

One last photo!

I just had to include this one; it made me laugh. 

I kept finding these around the house.  I am sure this was caused

not by a fairy, but little boys who prefer ears.

Ok, so I didn't plan on getting up

for the Royal Wedding,

maybe it was two posts this week that did it.  I woke up at

4:15 Mountain time and decided to flip the TV on and 

ended up watching the whole thing.  Loved it, loved

Catherine's dress and Pippa's - loved

the modest dresses - some of the hats were a little

too much but entertaining, 

loved the carriage, loved the choir and

especially the clergy's message on marriage.  I have

to say, I don't know how anyone caught a picture of

that quick peck we waited an extra hour for!  Katie

Couric was demanding a repeat and I agreed. 

 Congratulations

to them!  I hope they have a long and happy marriage

like I have had - 32 years in 

two weeks (of course we haven't been in any spotlight!)

Most of you said no way

 to having a chance at being

a Royal.  I agree, I value my privacy!!!

I will be posting this on
