THANK YOU, AWARDS. SHADES OF INSPIRATION

THANK YOU

Thank you to everyone for your kind thoughts and well wishes while sweet little Riley and I were sick.
Riley has improved and after going to the doctor Tuesday night – he now has only ‘slightly infected’ ears, a cough and slight wheezing. So another course of antibiotics and ventolin only twice a day. He is so much happier now.
He is 9 months old on Saturday and already is walking around holding on to whatever is in reach.

See what he is up to here. Standing up watching ‘In The Night Garden’ on TV.

Shades of Inspiration

This week’s colours are pink and green.

As it is midwinter here in Australia I picked the last of the buds on my Pierre de Ronsard climbing rose before I attack it with the secateurs

I love this bowl – such pale green and pink panels.
Of course gorgeous roses too.

Now go and check some other pink/green photos

Congrats on the award. That award is going around. I have to post mine also. You deserve it!!

Love your lamp and figurine. Very lovely!!

Blessings,
Jeannene

Connie said...

Thank you, my sweet alison!!! I'll post it later today. I've been diligent in cleaning the house today. Tomorrow I "attack" the laundry since hubs is saying he's running out of "knickers" as they say in other parts of the world. I'd say he's running out of "undies" but hey, that's just me! So tomorrow he gets clean undies!
Smoochies for little Riley, honey,
Connie

Barbara Jacksier said...

I have an thing for pink and green, too. One day, I'll go through my photo files (you can't even imagine how big this is, but many are copyright-- and not by me) and post some pix.

Hope you are both feeling better. My mom has come down with pneumonia and I've grounded in order to take care of her. Got my hands full but traveling bloglandia is a great distraction.

Linda said...

It's good to hear both of you are feeling better. Hugs, Linda

I love your rose! In California we can grow them pretty much all year around. I have maybe 100 roses and I love them all!

Riley is a prodigy to be walking so young!

I hope you stay well.
