Blooming Tuesday - Bearded Irises

It's Tuesday and it's time for What's Blooming in your Garden today hosted by Jean at Ms Green Thumb Jean's Blog. Don't forget to hop over to her blog and see what's blooming in other gardens too!
Today for Blooming Tuesday I thought I would post pictures of some Bearded Irises I have in my garden. I have this one area that I have dedicated to Irises. It's a little hill and I love how they stand tall and look so pretty there. In this area I have yellow and purple ones.

Blue Monday - Vintage Hand Towel

Today for Blue Monday I am going to show some pictures of a embroidered Vintage Hand Towel with a Blue Bird on it.
This Hand Towel is very old, and its all stained yellow with age, but what makes this piece so special to me is that this is the first piece that my Mom ever embroidered when she was a teenager.

I would love to take the yellow out of this, so if anyone can give me a tip on doing so without taking away any of the color in the embroidery threads, please let me know.

Pink Saturday

Another Saturday, another Pink Saturday! Every Saturday I join Beverly at How Sweet the Sound and post something Pink!


This is a really cute cup and saucer set made out of china that I bought last month at a Flea Market. I was planning on making a Tea Cup Bird Feeder out of it until I got it home and I just love all the colors and pretty pattern on it, so I decided to just display it with my other Tea Cups.
Here are some really pretty pink blooms around the garden also. I love springtime with all the blooms and I noticed Pink must be one of my favorite colors in the garden too!

Blooming Tuesday

Today for Bloomin' Tuesday I am just going to show a few pictures I took today. I am having problems with my computer and I am so aggravated. I have always wondered why they call some viruses on your computer a Trojan Horse. I think I know why now.....


This Rose Bush is called Hot Shot. It sure lives up to it's name!

I have a few of these rose bushes out front and they look so pretty in the springtime! This Rose bush is called Betty Boop This is a close up of the Betty Boop Rose

Underneath this rose bush is a beautiful Amaryllis Flower in bloom

Here is a area where I have some pansies growing

Blue Monday

It's another Blue Monday today!
I thought I would show you a picture of something blue I found in my yard today. As I was pinching off all the dead leaves on one of my hanging Spider Plants in the patio, I came across this! I don't know who got more startled, me or the Mommy Birdie....

There are actually five little blue bird eggs in that nest that the Mommy birdie was sitting on! And I know for a fact that I scared the poop out of her!

Blue Monday - Blue Enamelware Coffee Pots

Today is Blue Monday over at Smiling Sally's Blog. I love to join her every Monday and post pictures of things that are blue.

Today I thought I would show pictures of some of my Blue Enamelware Coffee Pots I collect. I display them at my vacation home on the river in Parker, Arizona.

I don't drink coffee but there is something about vintage blue enamel coffee pots that excites me! I always look for them at garage sales or on ebay.
