REDNESDAY

Hi everyone! Hope you've had a good week. It seems all the college students are home for the summer and, for me, only two weeks of school left!



Yesterday (Tuesday) was my Becky's 15th birthday. Her grandmother took all the kids to McDonald's after school.

One of the girls in the Special Ed. class brought in Red Velvet cupcakes - that was a nice surprise for Becky!

Guess that's all for this week!

Hi everyone!

I got nuthin' today . . . yup, that's right - nuthin'!

I am still so busy in the garden that I have hardly had time for anything else. Would you believe that I started 80 different varieties from seed so far, and I'm not done yet! I still have to "plant out" some seeds, such as sunflowers, nasturtiums, poppies, and a few veggies. I have a large yard and, mind you, it's definitely not magazine worthy, but it's mine and I love it!

I hope you'll show me all your beautiful reds this week!

Hi everyone! Happy Rednesday! Today I'm sharing some pictures from one of my vintage school books, Exploring Science Two, 1955. I'll start with the front and back covers, then the remaining eleven pics are the chapter title pages. Fortunately, there's a bit of red in each! Feel free to use these, or just enjoy looking at them!

P.S. ~ happy Mothers Day ladies!

I hope you don't mind going for . . .






















First, are some of my beloved Primroses. These are Primula florindae. The ones on the bottom right are "Belarina Pink Ice".

 Some pretty tulips with even prettier insides!

Luscious velvety red Calibrachoa waiting for a hanging planter.

 

 Another red Primrose called Dark Red Hose-in-Hose. Hose-in-Hose means that there is basically one flower sitting directly on top of another on the same stem. Unfortunately, these don't do it, but I like them anyways!

(Still not liking this new "compose post" page! :P)

 

Happy Rednesday! Well, what do you think of the new Blogger design and layout we have to work with? I need time to decide if I like it or not! (So far I don't!) Hmmm . . .

Anyways, this round canister with the rose is new to my collection. I acquired it at the thrift shop last week. It still has some flour left in it!

 

 On the right side of this little vignette, on the shelf above my computer, is a "fairy" potting table. I got the cupboard at Michael's for $1.00, painted it, and the garden theme evolved from there.

Now, here we have an interesting, and practical, item. Any idea what it is? This is how I found it at the thrift store~

 

 I undid the velcro and it looks like this ~

Then unfolded like this ~

Ah! Here's a clue ~

 

 

Voila! It's a pic-a-nic basket!

 

  

 Unzip the whole thing , spread it out, and you have an instant picnic "table". You don't even have to transfer food from the basket to a blanket or table. And cleanup is just as easy - rezip and you're good to go!

 

 It sure is!
