It's Blue Monday at Smilin Sally's.
Be sure to check out all the other blues,
and tell our wonderful hostess thanks!!
Sunday Blues,
A Picnic,
and a stroll in the park.
These shoes, with blue trim, were made for walkin'.
And that's just what they did.
This pair of shoes, with blue, went too.
(this is really dark blue trim,
not sure why it came out gray).
And climbing,
Smelling these beautiful,
not blue, flowers.
And then....
She laid her head on her blue backpack,
And took a rest.------------------------
This was our fun outing after church today.
My sweet fellas idea.
Sub sandwiches, fruit, cookies, and water.
"hiking" shoes, camera,
and a couple of hours of beauty and solitude
At Eugene's first city park.Established in 1906.
Acres and acres of beatitude trails, and gardens.
Today we hiked in the Rhododendron Garden.
Done blooming now, but still peaceful and beautiful.
What a wonderful break in our usual routine.
Hope your Blue Monday is wonderful!!
Blessings,
Barbara Jean

Hey, Barb!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Hendricks Park so much. We miss the rhodys there as well as the roses and paths at Owen Rose Garden ..... but then there's also Mt. Pisgah and biking trails by the river and UO..... We were SO spoiled to live there. We do adore Whoville, but Eugene is a very special place.
Hugs to you and yours and have a super day!

ReplyDeleteOh what a delightful Blue Monday post .
Thank you for sharing these sweet photos today.
Your fella was awful smart to think of this for Sunday afternoon.
Blessings to you both for the coming week.
Happy Trails
It's Me! Your long-lost blogging buddy peeking in! Tatting and yard sales and hiking! You've been busy!
ReplyDeleteYou look like you're in great shape, girlfriend! Being as busy as you are, no doubt there's no time for sneaking treats in between all your activities! ;-) That's what I find too! Busy fingers keep me from using them to stuff treats into my mouth! There just isn't time.
BUT...it IS summer, after all! So a trip to the ice cream store once a week for some "cappuccino crunch" is in order!
Hugs! Diane
Thanks for taking me on a stroll with you. It was fun to be in Eugene.
