Garden Bean Pole

Here is our beanpole on July 17, considering that we usually get a frost the end of August first week of September these plants know they have to be fast growing.

This picture was taken on August 17, we are beginning to pick beans and the neighbors are sneaking in the yard to see what we are growing!!! Hah Hah!!
I can see now why the story of Jack and the Beanstalk was almost believable. My husband made this pole this spring from a pattern I found in a garden decorating book. The pole itself is 10 feet tall but the plants are already a foot over that!! I hope to fill my freezer with beans or maybe go and see the giant!!!

Depression Glass Pink for Saturday

For pink Saturday I am sharing some of my pink depression glass.

A few of the pieces were given to me by my Mom but most of them I have purchased on the vintage/ auction/ flea market circuit.

I especially like the pitcher with the green handle. Both of my favorite colors on the same piece. I had wanted to share more but my computer was having a bad day and would not upload the pictures. [Back to the tutorials for me!!!] Be sure to go to Beverly's at How Sweet the Sound and see all the other pink posts from the blogging professionals! Have a great week and enjoy these last wonderful days of summer, God's gift of the seasons. All Happy Days. Meg

A Life of Pink

I am so late getting my post up but since I still visit posts for pink Saturday till Wednesday I will just post late.




My son left for the Middle East on Thursday and I had 5 visiting grand-daughters that I took to Maine this week to see my parents. We had a blast even though one of them picked up a terrible stomach flu and didn't get out of bed for two days. When I returned home the stargazer lilies [my favorite] were in
bloom so I will show you what my house looks like when you drive by and then a few highlights!





I wanted to dress them all in pink but they were leaving for a 5-hour drive to catch a ferry and I didn't have time. Maybe next time they will want to be a part of pink Saturday! Go see Bev at How Sweet the Sound for all the other gals going pink this fine Saturday in August!!





Have a most blessed day with the people you love and tell them again how much they mean to you! All Happy Days xoxoxoMeg
