“My candle burns at both ends; 
...I don't know what it is. Some kind of screwdriver something from Lew's stash. It's purple... that's all. :)

On this beautiful sunshiny day we're having, I couldn't resist the pretty upturned faces of these crocus as they posed in the sunlight for me.
I also couldn't resist another collection of yellow for this week's theme. I can't get over how much yellow I'm aware of now since taking the photos of the yellow motorcycle - there are yellow vehicles everywhere, just everywhere! I took these earlier in the week from the car window as we rambled around town taking care of business.
We're really pleased with the performance of our purple lady this year. It still has beaucoup buds and some of the flowers, I swear, are almost as big as saucers. Spectacular display!
I really don't do anything special with them - water them, keep the roots protected with perennial snow on the mountain ground cover, and cut them way back around November. They don't even get fed as often as they should. Just lucky, I guess.
My clematis started opening yesterday and is in all stages of bloom - from buds, to creeping open, to fully open. I hope to get a shot of it in full bloom in a couple more days.
My baby girl's hair and other things still live in a drawer in the dresser in her room at my house. My baby girl is 21 years old now... but it doesn't seem so long ago...
How many purple buildings do you have where you live?? LOL! One of the many interesting old buildings in downtown Frederick, this one's been on this corner since 1886.
We went to a party with my brother and sis-n-law the last time we visited and the hostess passed out Mardi Gras beads to everyone. I forgot I had them until the other day when I was looking for purple stuff to photograph - how convenient for me!
I've recently gone on a decorating color-kick... from my years-long love of pastels to more vivid and brighter reds (kitchen,) purples (bedroom) and blues (bedroom). This is one of the shades of purple replacing the peaches and cream that used to be in our bedroom.
After crawling around on the ground and getting nothing but wet, cold, and blown about for my trouble, I opted to pick a few of my grape hyacinths and bring them inside for a picture instead. *sigh*
Okay, I'm running short on ideas here... maybe another color challenge will get my juices flowing. Sooo, this week I'm going to do purple stuff... or shades of purple.
