Pink Saturday


"Come quickly Grandma, there's a visitor on the front doormat and I've taken a photo for you".
It had not flown into the glass storm door, thank goodness. This little fledgling was just visiting with its Daddy, a handsome tri-color Eastern Towhee, who was giving lessons on how to find food and take a drink from the fountain.




And look at this Dad.....................packing up the car to take the entire family on a Summer road trip in that big old gas guzzler................bet those were the days of 29 cents a gallon gas!

Hopefully that Mom will soon be out of that ladylike dress with the Peter Pan collar, and into her nifty swimming costume to join these gals who certainly seem to enjoy the beach.

  1. Love the Towhee photo. They are frequent visitors to our garden as well. I love their "drink your tea" song!

  2. Good morning and Happy Pink Saturday, Mary.

    We have a bird every year that flirts with himself by repeatedly flying into one of the windows on our front porch. Thank goodness he never kills himself.

    Your pictures and sentiment make me smile. I daresay gas might have been even less that 29 cents per gallon. But, that is a certifiable gas guzzler.

  9. Glad your little visitor brought his dad! The prints featured are priceless---I recall those summer trips of being crammed like sardines for hours in the backseat with hot siblings. I'm certain my parents were about nuts by the time we arrived at our destination point. Hope your Sat. is a delightfully pink as that bathing beauty picture! dana

  20. Hi Mary,
    The picture of the bathing beauties remind me of old time postcards of the NJ shore (Atlantic City or Ocean City) that were very popular way back when! Love those pink frames!


    Love,

    P.S. Yes, one must have their priorities in order. LOL! :-)

  26. Mary, the Towhee bird is so darned cute. Love that Suzanna's and I wish I lived near her store. The Pink mints were a big hit. Thanks for your comment. The bathing beauties in the PINK frame are priceless. You love those bathing beauty shots, and so do I. My favorite is the family and car shot.

    The wedding shower was a success. I'll post something tomorrow. Now, I can relax for a week, before knee replacement surgery

    Hugs ,Jeanne
