I'm hoping for a SUNNY Day!

It's been SO cold here in the Northwest, and cloudy, and when I saw this headline in our newspaper I just had to share..I had a good giggle...

I would rather have this than some serious other weather across the nation... So I am sending good thoughts to others who have worse weather...

Tomorrow is the first day of summer...and my special day.....Please Mother Nature I'm hoping for a SUNNY DAY, and for everyone else...

Father's day is coming soon!!

At Make Mine Pink, are themed Friday's are too much fun...and catching on...I've made a simple ceramic plaque for my guy and for yours! He can hang it anywhere, and it makes him feel great! He also has another title...we laugh and giggle about this one all the time...cause how true is this....yes! It's very true... he has lists upon lists of things to do...my sweetie calls himself
"The Man B----" How's that for some giggles?

Had to buy some flowers..

Well...it's still freezing cold in the Pacific Northwest..I just checked and we are 1 degree above Anchorage ALASKA....LOL..what's up with this kooky weather?? Global warming is cooling for sure...

I just had to buy some pretty flowers because mine sure are NOT blooming and it's JUNE!!!

I thought I would post how pretty they are and share..I wish everyone a blooming day~~

Wouldn't it be NICE....

Peace, Love, Happiness.... I loved the 70's...it was full of smiles, and hugs, and no one worried as much as they do today...people were more kind, thoughtful, and really all about "All you need is LOVE", by the Beatles..I sure do miss those days..from one "Shabby Hippie"...to another..I just LOVE my new clock... I'll be making many more like this one...:)
