Touches of Pink

I'm old enough to remember when "Think pink" referred to the commercial phone book. A bit of googling tells me that the Pink Pages were replaced by the Yellow Pages in 1975. That was a while ago.

Some newer pink things around here today.

Echinacea:

Cosmos:
Hollyhocks:

 

Hearts and sprouts in progress in my sewing room:


Linked to this week's Rainbow Scrap Challenge link-up here.


In other news, Mum's nursing home re-opened for visitors today. Hooray! Now you have to complete a covid RAT before entering (and get a negative result, of course). I will have to allow extra time for visits from now on - today I got to Mum's room 40 minutes after I arrived at the home.

Beautiful Pink flowers, Vireya. I also love your Pink blocks, so vibrant and happy. Glad for you and your mother.

Such pretty PINK blocks for the RSC and those flowers, too!! Wishing I had some Echinacea in my garden. I'm still waiting to see what blooms at our new house before garden shopping.

Your pinks made me smile. I used to follow a pop group when I was in high school, there was a saying "Think Pink, Think Zoot". Pleased you mum can have visitors again. We are in isolation here, husband tested positive. Waiting for my results!!

I only remember Yellow pages in the US. I googles it to see if I just didn’t remember, but only came up with the current LGBTQ pages.

Good that you can visit with your mom again.

The pink flowers and blocks are pretty.

Should be googled, not googles.

So many beautiful pink blooms and lovely hearts and sprouts too.
So good to be able to visit your Mum….

The sun is bouncing off your pink flowers beautifully. Like the way your blocks also reflect that tonal range.
Great news about the nursing home being open, albeit with an uncomfortable delay to the visit.

I have a few new markers in different shades of pink, might have to “ borrow “ some of your lovely flower photos again for my next drawings! Glad you can visit your Mum again.

Beautiful flowers as always! Ooh, I think I have some pink Cosmos seeds to plant! Can't wait for it to warm up just a bit more and sow them. Love your pink blocks for RSC. I really need to catch up on mine!

I like your Pinks! I don’t think we ever had pink pages. Ours have been yellow since I can remember.
