Faded Pinks



It's time to start changing out the pinks on my front porch.  Although I
love the soft muted colors, it's time to bring out the warmer more vibrant
colors for autumn and the winter months to come.




I still have some pink flowers in my pots on the steps leading to the porch, but it won't
be long before they will disappear with the colder nights.



But for now, I will enjoy the last of their beauty despite the falling
leaves surrounding them.

It's time for another Pink Saturday.  Let's go visit our friend Beverly!

Bentley has been having so much fun playing in his yard
during all the warm sunny days.  His toys are scattered around the 
yard ~ so cute!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    Mele has hers scattered all over the back yard..she hates it when I wash them..but they are definitely due.
    I also have the pinks still doing well..but in California...well..pinks are forever. I just leave them be.
    Would you believe I couldn't find a single white pumpkin for my living room (that's my pink room you know.) I love your visits..thanks for stopping by. :)
    Hugs!

    Pretty pretty! I don't know if we have a flower blooming anywhere right now. Kind of sad really.
    Have a great weekend.

    Although we have flowers here and it's Spring, I love the look of your fall displays. I hace looked for fake pumpkins here so that I can have them white with glitter too,but can't find any so far, will keep looking. Your Bentley sounds so cute. xx

    Awwww. Fall means some things fade. Lovely images to reflect upon.

    Not much pink in the Philippines-- bouganvilla (sp?), that's about it.

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Such gorgeous pillows. Aside from a few mum's throughout the beds, our flowers are gone. We've been told snow flakes may even appear next week. I'm not ready to think about mittens and boots yet.

    Have a lovely weekend.

    How sad we will all be when the last pink flowers disappear from our gardens.
    My hydrangeas are hanging on to the very end.
    Happy PS.

    Well, I love these and if you have a porch...you might have them blooming all year long.

    Lovely, there is something cozy about faded colors. They are gentle on the eyes and make me want to relax against them.

    Happy Pink Saturday, Susan and Bentley.

    The pinks are always sweet, and yours do look so pretty on your porch. I could get comfy in that rocking chair.

    Are leaves aren't falling yet, but it won't be long.
