Think Pink!

We were very inspired by pink this week. Who knows why or how these things happen. I think it started with the Christmas cactus when it started shooting off little pink buds all over.


Then, just for fun, I whipped out this pink hat with some Rowan Big Wool I had laying around.



And Tony brought home a pink poinsettia -- as if we don't have enough plants.

I made some strawberry cookies in celebration of pinkness.

Then, somehow, the dog turned pink.

She started off Hot Pink, but she dried to . . . hot pink. hmmm.

After the rinse, the color mellowed.


A few days later, she's still pink but it's much more subtle.

In other news: we put up the holiday lights. We did the lights the same as last year: a string of red and white across the roof and red and white twinklies in the bushes. We did add -- you'll never guess -- red and white to the two maple trees.
But our decorations pale in comparison to our neighbor's who has once again outdone herself. Actually, I know she isn't done -- the big inflatables aren't out yet!


We had a great Thanksgiving. This year we went to Tony's parent's. I brought the wine -- and then I drank it all. Weeee! Yes I know I said I'd explore the drinking thing but I also said I'd take an inventory first, and it would be a short list without a little consumption.

Later,

Eric

I love the pink puppy :-)

The pink hat is great, too.

I passed a house today that had 4 giant inflatables in the front yard, along with a plastic light up Santa AND a plastic nativity scene!

Wow...so much...pink. I don't know, Tony, I may never recover. Aren't Christmas cacti fun when they bloom as they're supposed to? The mitt is lovely and I'm glad to hear you had a good Thanksgiving.

My dogs are looking over my shoulder, the black dog thinking, "Thank goodness I'm coal black," and the Rhodesian ridgeback mix thinking, "If she starts running water I am SO out of here!"

Although if he was a hot pink Rhody mix, I would probably worry less about him being mistaken for a deer by hunters!

I am drowning in slobber and tears here ( how's that for a visual) laughing at the pink dog--omg, that is soooooo funny! I'm assuming that is the intended reaction--hahahahha.

Pink is good. I like pink. Even the dog seems happy in pink!

I wonder how the Big, Fluffy Kitty would feel about a little touch of rose in her fur...
