It's Party Day!!

April 29, 2013

Good morning.  Well, it's finally here.  Party Day!!  I stopped at the market last night on my way to work to buy the hamburg (to make the cake).   This morning Pogo and I will be going shopping to buy the balloons and party favor toys.   Yesterday was Pogo's seventh birthday, but because I had to work, we will celebrate later today. 

At the moment, it's looking a bit cloudy and drizzly wet outside, so I'm hoping that it clears up as the day goes on.  Parties are much more fun when the sun is shining.

Because it's Pogo's big day, we have a present for you too.  A quick page that I made from this month's collab kit.  I hope you can use it.

 
Here's your download link: 
 
Today is also Mandarin Orange Monday, and I have a photo of a really pretty little orange tulip from my garden at home.  What makes it so pretty is that it looks as though I painted it with water colors or something.  I assure you, this is how it looks straight from the camera.  I removed a couple of things from the background (white wire fence, mulch, etc.).
 
 
And, here's a shot of my lone little primrose (I think that's what it is).  It's only a few inches tall, but oh it is sooooo pretty!
 
 
Now I really must be getting busy here.  Soon it will be time to head for home and my little guy.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all have a fantabulous day.
 
Hugs, Edna B.

Your beautiful orange tulip does look like natures painting ... the lighting is perfect and the color is gorgeous ... Happy MOM :)

I knew Pogo's party was coming ... Izzi will be busy today thinking of a way to sing a long distance Happy Birthday to her little friend. So exciting ... 7 years old. Very special.

I have started my yard work ... it is going to be a slow process and today the ground is wet so it will also be a messy process. I may wait until later in the day to give the sun a chance to dry things off a little. I finally have some blooms to take pictures of and all kinds of things poking their brave little heads up through the ground. My Bee Balm, however has something trying to grow over it. I will have to pull it out and hope that the Bee Balm will recover from the invasion. I love my Bee Balm because it attracts the hummers ... and they spend a long time on it sucking out of every little petal. Well, I am off to help Izzi find a way to Wish Pogo a Happy Birthday ... Have a wonderful day with your little boy ...

Hi Edna, i am amazed that 2 Andrea are commenting here in succession, hahaha. I love that orange tulip, the habit of which is different than the usual tulips i see in photos. Thanks for visiting my post.

First off Happy Birthday, Pogo!! I hope the party is wonderful and I agree that I want to see pictures of the cake!

I love that orange tulip and since I know I need to replace some of the bunny food, er, tulips in my flower beds, maybe I should look for orange to add to my spring rainbow this fall. Hmm...

Thank you to Pogo for the wonderful blog party favor!

I love seeing my favorite Edna word again; I just get the vibe that you're in unchangeable happy spirits when you wish us a "fantabulous day!" :)

Hugs, Nani
