Pink Lemonade

Somewhere in here…

is a bloom that makes me think of pink lemonade.

Do you think she’s doing it on purpose?

About Lynn 
Approaching-50 mother of four. Thrifter. Content with lots of clothes bought for very little money. Loves retro. (That could be styles from the 40s and 50s. And sometimes stuff even older than that. And sometimes stuff from all time, all mixed up together!) Bluffs about decluttering but secretly loves STUFF. Goes through stages. Has standing and staring spells before rearranging the entire home. Just because. Tune in each day to see what new outfit comes home from G.W. Boutique next. (That's Goodwill, by the way.) Oh, and she owns a spoiled beagle named Annie. And this blog.

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884

Sow a character, reap a destiny.

What a sweet bloom that is! How large is it, may I ask?
Dear Lynn,
Pink lemonade, indeed! How pretty! Oh, I forgot to respond to your question about the nettle picture; it’s narrow-leaf nettle, which I hadn’t heard of till I was stung by it and looked it up! Oh, and sending bee balm cuttings; I wonder if that would work? I was thinking of sending you some comfrey root, too, but wonder if it would make it that far.
Love,
Marqueta
Diane, I went out and measured, just for you!
Each one is about 4-5 inches across. They are pretty large and oh so pretty!
Marqueta, nettles can sting, can’t they?! I’ve noticed that when picked with intention it’s not so bad, but boy just brush up to one by accident!
Lynn
