A Sad Pink Saturday.......

Well, it finally happened......when I arrived at the store this morning one half of my awning was in shreds and flipping in the wind. I know I've been expecting this to happen....the pieces of tape covered the small holes from the last hail storm, and the awning is way beyond it's life expectancy....still, it is sad and you hold on not wanting to spend the money.......not on building maintenance anyway. So my once burgandy, now faded beautiful pink awning is history........BUT I've had a vision. My daughter has always told me she didn't think of me as the "awning" type person..(I've personally never known quite what that meant, but trust her judgment enough to believe her).......so, the awning is "out". We are painting the wonderful metal architecutrual awning frame black to match the other black accents on the building which are the top layer of tiles and the bull nose brick right above the awning frame. I am then going to plant beautiful all season blooming wysteria vines at either corner and in two of my large planters so it can grow up onto the frame and use it as a trellis of sorts.......I know not everyone has my vision, so you're going to have to trust me on this one.......it is going to be divine.....and can't you just smell the beautiful scent of wysteria......

I'm pretty sure I can :)

Want more beautiful pinks today....jump over to Beverly's on the button to the left and see what the others have prepared for you.....it's always a fun day.
