Merci, thank you for the sweet pea seeds

I love getting mail and I got the best kind of mail yesterday. Some sweet pea seeds from a kind lady in Lithuania Mrs. Erika Jureniene! I guess she reads my blog and recalled how I love sweet peas. It is too hot to plant them now but I will plant then for spring growing next year in April. 

Merci, thank you Mrs. Jureniene!!

What a kind thing to do and it made my day!  I  hope you all 

Have a Pink day!

Poesy

A poesy for you dear reader. I feel such joy when I pick flowers I have grown in my own garden. I have been extremely lucky growing sweet peas and salvia and cleome here in the hot, humid South. I love to use the salvia ( it is an annual Coral Nymph it reseeds) as a filler in arrangements.

Just a petit merci for reading my blog

Have a Pink day!

Just added some new tea cups and another cake plate to my collection.

I just got these sweet tea cups at a local antiques shop-High Cottage in Marietta.

I love cake plates and use them a lot for creating height in a table scape, showing things off on the sideboard and for serving of course.

I love these sweet peas from Botanical Interests--they have a great web site. I plant sweet peas every year and I also bought these perennial ones and they do come back year after year.

Have a Pink day!

Too hot... sweet peas to the rescue!

The weather here in Georgia has been very, very hot. Summers seem hotter than they were years ago. I like warm weather but once it hits 90 I sort of melt. I stay in.

I miss sitting in garden so at night I go out before dark and just relax a bit under arbor on the patio.

It is amazing that I still have so many sweet peas blooming in this heat!! I cut some for my night table- nothing like sweet peas to perk a person up! I got the MA Petit Trianon mug at Versailles.

Have a PINK day!
