~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's a beautiful blue housing development not too far from me.
Here's the entrance. It's called Heritage Harbor. Notice the large blue sign across the lake.






Plumbago is planted; the bloom is a beautiful pale blue.




Here's the front of the entrance gatehouse. Notice all the blue trim as well as the blue directional sign.





All informational signs are blue. Notice the blue trim on the golf course restroom building in the background.




Even all of the mailboxes are blue.







As we leave, we see this final informational blue sign.




This is the back of the gatehouse. It's trimmed in beautiful blue.




Happy Blue Monday!

    Is your house going to be like that one or similar?

    I notice that lots of signs are in blue. I guess because red and yellow are taken by the gov't for signs. Have a great week, Sally!
