3.... 3.... 3 Memes in ONE


The highlight of this weekend was a surprise 60th birthday party for my friend, Andree. It was a very nice time, and Andree was very happy to have family and friends surrounding her. This, as I'm sure you would guess, is a balloon from the party.

These 'fake' flowers were near the wood stove at the birthday party which was held at a lodge in the mountains, on a ranch, about an hours drive from here. With the yellow flower, it begs to be included in Mellow Yellow Monday.
Today, after soooo many days of clouds and gray weather, it was a total delight to have blue sky and sunshine break through to visit us... even if it was cold enough to freeze your _____ well, lets just say it was very cold with low temperatures and a wind. To celebrate such a beautiful day, I took this photo from my yard. You can see the snow, the lake, the mountain, a neighbor's barn, and yes, lots of blue sky.

I came looking for the yellow and I found it in the beautiful yellow rose. Hopefully when winter ends we can see these in bloom again. Good bye snow, to it looks nice in your landscape pic.

Can't argue with you about the yellow flower. It certainly did need posting for this meme.

The picture underneath is really lovely. How blue that sky is and the snow up front has such a lovely blue tone too. Not at all a bad place for a party, which I hope was everything your friend had hoped for.

We had an amazing day of blue sky and sunshine on Sunday. And then it went gray again.

But as long as we get a sunny blue sky day here and there, I can handle it.
