My Two Beauties

by Self Sagacity at 2:00 PM
In drier environments the Rose carpets look like the first two photos, but when it's raining, they look more like the last two photos. Rose carpets do very well in California weather and around my house, because they like sun, and our house is mostly sunny.

We were having so much wet weather that it was useless to fight it. Trinity was stir crazy inside all day, so I had to let her out for some fun!

She was so happy to be outside and ecstatic to touch the rainfall. She had her hat on in the pictures below, but didn't keep it on for long. In the matter of minutes, she was soaking wet. It is such an incredible sight to watch her playing with the rainfall.

Trinity pointed out some rose carpets that were sunken in the rain water. We spent some time in the rain digging a narrow ditch to let the flood run away from the flower beds and into the sewer. It was a couple of very fun hours in the rain with my sweetie.

    It's always so much fun for me to travel from blog to blog on Pink Saturday. Each and every entry is different and each and every one makes me smile and feel all pink from the inside out☺

    Today, 'tis cold up here, near zero, so I need all the little pink rays of sunshine I can gather 'round and your blog certainly has helped to warm my pinkie ♥.

    Thanks so much for sharing this week. Your blog is wonderful and filled with so much to see and to read!

    This reminds me of how when I was little, I used to spend hours and hours outside in our garden, playing with big, bright pink gumamelas, pretending that they were palaces with princesses inside of them, and I could just stay out there and play pretend with the flowers like that, for HOURS! :)

    Lovely memories brought back to me from by your post.... thank you. :)

    Miss Trinity makes an adorable addition to these lovely photographs. She's wearing a very cute sun hat. A bee from above might think she is a wonderful dancing flower ;)
