Note Card Party-April

I discovered a new thing to participate in this week.
A Note Card Party!
Vee over at A Haven for Vee is our lovely host!

The idea is to search through your blog and find pictures 
that would make cute note cards.
I had a hard time deciding, but after choosing 4 pictures 
I realized I had a Pink theme.

 This first picture was taken at the Mare Island Historical Preserve.
I just love the look of the flowers against the picket fence.

This one was taken on the boardwalk at Asilomar State Park and Conference Grounds.
It was taken on our trip there last Fall. We went again in March!
We love it there and look forward to a relaxing trip there again.

This picture and the next were taken in the yard at my 
brother-in-law and sister-in-law's house.
They have a lovely yard and I enjoyed taking a bunch of pictures there.
These are two of them.
The cute birdhouse presents a cheery welcome.

I will have to watch for more Note Card Parties.
Hope all is well with everyone.
Especially those affected by the recent storms.

Wonderful pinks! The first with the roses against the white picket fence...gorgeous! The soft deep pink roses again and that sweet bird house. Oh darling cards could be printed up from these choices. I also like the look of the boardwalk along the sand dune. Take me away!

Thanks for joining in, Neabear. This is such a fun, quick and easy party. It gets us out and about with a minimal of effort. Gotta love that in busy Blogdom!

Oh, that pink flower peeking out of the picket fence is just delightful. I also think the pink birdhouse is charming. They would make such a cheerful set of note cards sure to brighten the receiver's day.

Morning Linnea,
It was so great to hear from you hon.
I know that weed pulling, it has to be done, but sometimes I just don't want to do it, but then once I get started I am fine. I wanted to work outside again today, but my neck is acting up a lil and I thought think you better just cool it for today and ice this neck so it doesn't get any
worse.
I really am shocked at how hot it has been already this year, it is almost like we haven't had much of a spring except for cooler nights.
Bummer! Am hoping this hotter weather is warming the ocean up for a bad hurricane season. I have to say after those 3 in a row we got about 7-8 yrs. ago, I really cringe when I think of hurricane season starting.............ugh.

Well sweetie, hope all is well with you..............and love all those pretty pictures, cause they would make lovely cards for sure.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by to say Hi, really loved hearing from you.
Blessings Galore, nellie
