Wringing out the old . . .

. . . and making room for the new. Today I needed a spot of color (not white, thankyouverymuch). How about you?

I have no clue what it is but it sure is purty.

  10. absolutely beautiful!! each and every ONE of those photos. I'm thinking that the one you're not sure what it is, perhaps it's a geranium? The blossom sure looks like a geranium to me.

    Again, beautiful photos.

    Thanks for visiting. Wishing you the best in 2012

  22. Was reading your profile. Did I tell you to Kill a mocking bird was on of my love too? Studied as a text when I was 15, and I still don't know who the mocking bird is. Perhaps I should read it again.

    I also share the child cancer awareness too. A toddler just died.

    Thanks for hydrangea comment.
