What We Will and Won't Be Doing This Weekend


We WILL be celebrating the 4th birthday of Pink Saturday! But we WON'T be 
gardening.  It's raining right now and rain is in the forecast for the entire
weekend.  Did you hear that "Patio Daddy-O" (my husband) I don't 
think we will be grilling on the deck.  

But ... what we will be doing is creating a fairy garden.




I'll be busy constructing an arbor and a swing and a little cottage for
fairies.  I am gathering up materials for the construction now.




Polished pebbles, ivy and wee little plants.  Creating a spot for
the fairies to enjoy a cup of tea.  All fairies love tea don't you know.




I have some plans for pine cones too.



So working in my full size garden will have to wait until sunny days are
here again.




But the plants are enjoying the nice soft rain, so I don't mind too much.




I will be busy creating my fairy garden with twigs and pebbles, twist and
pine cones.  I hope they like it!

Happy 4th Birthday to Pink Saturday!
and
Let's visit Seasonal Sundays

Bentley ~ in between the raindrops lets go for a walk and gather
up some more twigs and rocks.  We will need lots more for all the
construction we have planned.

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

    :) Yours will be the very best kind. I'm gathering things and mine will be constantly changing. I added some inexpensive Fairies but they probably won't be staying long. I think I love ones without Fairies to be truthful. But I wanted something for the tiny Grands to fiddle with and not my "stay put things. We'll see how this works. Things made form natural things are just wonderful..I've seen some for sale commanding in the thousands. I cannot wait to see. Just from what you are gathering.. I'm all excited. I love looking at things like this.
    I shall...return.

    HPS 4 birthday!

    We've had gobs of rain over the last 2 days.....some folks are flooding now. :(

    The fairy garden sounds wonderful! I hurt my hand 2 days ago..and need to pot plants and pull weeds and trim bushes, but can't right now. Seems like I over did something yesterday cuz my broken hand has hurt all day and is swollen. Typing is difficult, too, so I will stop for now.

    I was so excited that your blog came through quickly today...sometimes is just loads and loads and loads and doesn't get up. Maybe all of the rain we had "cleared cyber space" so the signals are working better now!

    Susan, I know you will create the most magical of all fairy gardens. I know Bentley must be helping.

    Happy Pink Saturday Fourth Birthday Celebration. I appreciate you and all you do to make Pink Saturday special. It is special because of the fellowship, friendship and kindness we all experience from all of the "pinkies".♥♥♥ It would never be the same without you.
