Morning Glory

I was very excited when I went outside this morning and saw the first bloom on my morning glory. I planted the seeds very late this year. In honor of my morning glory blooming, I have made my blog blue again, like it originally was and I've got my dainty blue tea set ready in case you have time for a cup of tea today. I love blue. There is blue in my garden in the summer.
Blue in the garden in the spring.
Blue in our home all year round.
What can I say! I love blue! I love lots of colors, but blue is my favorite. Did I ever tell you I think blue is God's favorite color too? Look how much blue he used when he created the earth; all the sky and water. Green is probably a close second.

What is your favorite color?


A very belated thank you to Michelle for this sweet award. I pass this on to all of you creative bloggers out there. There are so many of you, it's hard to choose one!
Thanks to Kathy for this delightful award. I want to pass it on to anyone who has ever left me a comment. You have all been so KIND, TRUSTING, HONEST and CARING. You are a remarkable group of ladies and I appreciate every one of you each time you take the time to leave me a comment.

Hope your day is filled with blue skies. I'm praying for those of you in Florida in the path of tropical storm Fay, that you'll be safe.

    Ohhhhhhhhh I love blue. Red and blue are my favorite colors. All of the flowers are so pretty. Good for you getting the award, you deserve it. Every blue and white dish, cup, plate etc are just too pretty for words.

    Beautiful post today. I LOVE morning glories. I planted them twice this summer and for some reason they didn't grow. I was so disappointed. Now when I want to see them I will come and look at yours.

    Have a nice day,
    Kim

    Congratulations on your awards Rhondi! I love using blue in our garden. It gives the illusion of space in a tiny garden like ours. I like very many colors but think red is my favorite.

    Hugs ~

    Hi Rhondi -
    You and I think alike. We both love blue! Your morning glory is fantastic. Do you know its name? I'd love to plant morning glory and would love to have blue. And some yellow. Your blue things are beautiful. I would love to join you for tea and a good chat. Can we sit in the garden near the morning glory?

    Aren't morning glories just the happiest flower? I didn't get my seeds planted this year, so I'll just enjoy yours!

    Hello Sweet Rhondi!

    Your blue posting is breath taking! So beautiful and peaceful...I love Morning Glories because they remind me of my Dear Mother. She always had them blooming out the kitchen window. LOVE your blue background. It makes everythng pop out!

    I am making a little something blue at the moment and would love to finish them for you! When I picked up the "blue" last night I thought "wonder who will be getting these!" Then you came by today! If you would like to email me your address, they are yours!

    Have a wonderful day Rhondi!

    Hugs,
    Maryjane

    Great pictures. They are just beautiful.

    You know I think you are probably right about blue being God's favorite color.

    And, from another perspective - I prefer "Duke" blue to "Carolina" blue. ;-)

    I am STILL waiting for my first blooms from my Morning Glories. They've covered my obelisks with green glorious vines but not ONE blom. So, I'll hold onto hope that I'll get some before a freeze does them in.
