Holding On To Summer.

I'm clinging to the last days of summer. Enjoying my favorite bird feeder(s). Pink paper lanterns (they light up at night!) A cute flower pot even though it's empty! Sweet succulents (who knew I'd find PINK ones?) The curly details of my pink metal lanterns. Birds. . . fake, yet so cute!) Our sweet porch cat, Rex. He's my faithful morning friend.He loves sitting under the shade or our PINK umbrella. Uh oh, Rex sees something. . . .A yellow finch. . .real, and so cute! The same cute finch! Hard to believe he let me continue taking photos! I took at least a dozen! Sipping coffee (lots of cream and sugar, please!) in a pretty cup and saucer I purchased at a tag sale in Montana. When my coffee is coupled with a set of sticky page markers that can mean only one thing. My Cath Kidston Catalog just arrived in the mail! Look at all the pages I marked! Here's a preview of all the cute things inside! Oooooo...... Ahhhhhh...... So cute...... Dreamy. . . . . Back to school! Sew adorable. . . . I'd do more ironing if. . . . . Pink florals and more! I'd cook more if. . . . . I'd enjoy washing dishes if. . . . Okay, time to stop dreaming. My son is awake and wants to play Legos!

    Ah I don't want summer to end either! Your photos are beautiful, and I took tons of pics of a mourning dove once, and it didn't move either. Your son would love where I live CIndy, 5 minutes from Legoland!
    Take care,
    Martha

    Yes it will be hard to leave the warm sunshine, and bring in all our outdoor decorations, but this heat wave I can live without!
    Hugs, Diane

    I agree with everyone else...I think your porch will be crowded once we all get there. LOL! I love those pink lanterns. I have a box of old lantern in my bedroom closet. Don't know why i've never taken them out or hung them up. I have been swooning over the CK catalog as well. Love it and your pretty blog.
