~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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!

You Won't Believe This Pink!

An eleven-year-old boy discovered this Pink adult female grasshopper while on a nature trail in England. At first, he thought it was a pretty flower. Then, it moved!



Grasshoppers of different colors, including Pink, have been seen before. It's a mutation. What makes this particular grasshopper so rare is the intensity of the Pink, according to a nature reserves officer in Britain.



You might say "pretty," but I say, "Yuk!"


Precious Beverly at How Sweet the Sound hosts Pink Saturday.

Please Pause at her Place to see Plenty of other Pretty Pink items that Precious Pink Participating People are Presently Presenting for your Perusing Pleasure.

They've Plotted, Planned, and Preformed to Perfection so you can Pop a Peek.



See you in two days for Blue Monday!

New Home Progress

Susan at A Southern Daydreamer is the gracious hostess for Outdoor Wednesday. If you'd like to join in, all you need do is to post pictures of anything that that might be found outdoors.

Two months ago we moved from South Florida, our home for over forty-five years. We're currently living in a rental while our new home is being built. We're close enough that we go "visit" every day.

This is a shot taken last week after the plumbing (the white pipes) was put into place. Then, the vapor barrier was laid down.



Last Thursday, we were thrilled to see that it had been poured! This shows our front entrance.




Monday, we were so excited to see the men beginning to lay blocks!




Yesterday morning, this shot was taken. The builder called us in the afternoon to report that all the blocks were laid. It's beginning to look like a house!

Blonde Diagnosis


“Doc, you’ve got to help me,” said the cute young redhead. “I hurt all over.”

“What do you mean?” asked the doctor.

She touched her right knee with her finger. “Ow, that hurts.” She touched her left cheek. “Ow, that really hurts!” Then she touched her shoulder. “OW! Even THAT hurts!”

The doctor grew suspicious. “Are you a natural blonde?” he asked.

“Why, yes,” she replied. “how did you know?”

“Oh, lucky guess,” said the doctor. “You have a sprained finger.”
