Some fun for Friday
The pot of violas that I received for my birthday in March is still blooming - and the scent is heavenly. I have put it in the middle of the little table on the deck, near the deck chairs. It is one of my all time favorite gifts.
In our city, Bellingham, Washington, they paint the buses. I had a perfect view of this one from a grocery store parking lot. Usually my view is obscured by cars and trucks. Hop on board - you can ride all over town - go up to Lynden or out to Maple Falls.
The Golden Chain trees are in full bloom - one day I shall have one of my own.
A clever idea and a great play on words - a window box!
This honeysuckle is growing on a fence near a favorite cafe in the tiny town of Bow, Washington
And the roses are beginning to bloom
Our grandson Donnie - sunshine in my heart!
That golden chain tree is amazing! I've never seen anything like it. And I love the window box and painted bus. I hope you have a beautiful weekend my friend. Have fun! Hugs, Diane

Great things! I like the window box!! xx
ReplyDeleteWe had a golden chain tree in the house where I lived as a kid. Your pictures bring back memories. The one of Donnie, though, takes the prize.
ReplyDeleteso many gorgeous blooms, that the golden chain tree- amazing, I've never seen anything like it. grandson is adorable, of course! the violas remind me of pansies I once had- sweet adorable "faces" that make me smile.
ReplyDeleteOh the violets! What a wonderful gift! And that golden chain is glorious! I have never seen a tree like that before! It reminds me of wisteria, only that sunny yellow! Sweet grandson. And what a cute idea to paint the buses!
ReplyDeleteWow, that golden chain tree blossoms are beautiful. Cool buses in your city!
ReplyDeleteLove the little smiling faces of the violas.
Your grandson is a cutie!
Oh my that bus is fantastic but those golden chain flowers--spectacular! I've never heard of those! My girls work in Alaska :) I'm a new visitor to your blog :) I love that pic of your family when you moved there.
ReplyDeleteI found myself saying, "oh wow!" at every photo!
ReplyDeleteThe violas are beautiful and your picture shows them in perfect clarity.
How nice to see a bus that's not plastered with ads!
Little Donnie! aww! This melts my heart and he's not even MY grandson! I imagine you are just over-the-moon that he belongs to YOU!
The violas are pretty. I love a gift that keeps on giving. Nice paint job on the bus. I've never heard of a Golden Chain tree, either. Wow! Grandkids are one of the greatest things ever!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice set for WNF5
ReplyDeleteThe Viola's are so pretty and charming.
Cool decor on the buses there.
