Hello beautiful weekend-to-be.
I am so looking forward to our neighborhood home tour on Saturday and to the golden sunshine that my Florida is famous for. IF it should rain, I will be prepared with my red umbrella - but of course! ;-)
Thank you dear flowers for staying alive one WHOLE week!
I love you!
I hope you have a beautiful weekend. Rain or shine ...
And thank you so much for making this past week a great one. Friends we are - near and far. Friends we will always be.
Love,
Kim
Your blog makes me so happy!
Thank you very much!

Kim,
Your pictures are gorgeous.....I can't wait to plant our flowers! I'll have to start with pansies because of our cold weather.......but at least I can visit yours :) Have fun this weekend! xo

Always so many lovely images and words when I visit your inspiring blog. I can dream of all the lovely flowers and chippy furniture while we are in the midst of a sand storm. Yuck! Wishing you and yours many blessings, Tammy

Hi Kim, I Love that Red Umbrella, and the bird houses and the tiny yellow rose. I hope that you have a wonderful weekend doing what you Love. I will be like a cat on a hot tin roof as there is a cyclone bearing down on Queensland not far from where my son his wife and my grandsons and my sister live so it will be a bit of a tense one for me until Sunday when it is expected to hit praying that it changes direction and blows out to sea. Not a good feeling when you can't do anything about it and your soooo far away. Anyhow I'm sure that it will be OK! ;) Trish xox

Happy Happy weekend Kim
Have ever so much fun at your neighbourhood tour. I know you will! The house looks inviting as always. Love the red umbrella! Have a great weekend. Even though it's supposed to rain here, it will give me a chance to "nest" all weekend. I'm so looking forward to it ;)
Have a great weekend to all daisy bloggers!
Hugs

I live in KY and it's been a long, cold, hard winter......we are FINALLY supposed to have 2 nice days in a row. I NEED sunshine to thrive and today we'll get it with a high of 68....I'm SO excited. I must say I'm a little jealous of your Florida sunshine...you get to keep it so much longer than I do. :) I'm so excited for a nice sunny weekend....I'm glad I won't need the red umbrella. :)
Posted by: Melissa from My Cottage Charm | March 19, 2010 at 07:06 AM
Love the red! and of course the flowers!! We are suppose to be in the 70's today and tomorrow, yes!! So....I'll be outside :)
Posted by: Ulrike | March 19, 2010 at 07:50 AM
Happy home tour Kim!
I wish I lived in your area. I would love to go on a tour of Daisy Cottage and the neighborhood but for now I will enjoy the beautiful 70 degree weather here in Long Beach NY.
SPRING HAS SPRUNG!!!!
Have a Great Weekend!!!
Love,
Kate

Spring at last!! Enjoy the beautiful weekend. I love your colorful flowerpots. Isn't it wonderful to have flowers and sunshine after the unusual long,cold,wet winter we had in FL this year?
Posted by: Megan | March 19, 2010 at 08:10 AM
Enjoy the neighborhood tour and be sure to take lots of pics for us to see! Have a great weekend dear Kim and sweet Maggie!

Posted by: Julie | March 19, 2010 at 09:29 AM
I envy you having your plants in pots ~ we still have a ways to go before I can do that. It doesn't stop me from planning flower combos in my head though!
Posted by: Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions | March 19, 2010 at 09:44 AM
It's supposed to reach 70F in my corner. That seems a great way to welcome spring. Thank you for another lovely week. I visited, I read, I smiled.
Posted by: Vee | March 19, 2010 at 10:10 AM
Good morning Kim
I'm visiting early this morning, instead of late at night. Today is my day off from the office and I'm going out to lunch with a dear friend who I don't see very often. I love that birdhouse with the metal roof.
The weather will be fine today so that's a plus. Have a wonderful time at your home show.

The sun is shining today in KY...went to the mailbox and got distracted...had to see if any of my plants were peeking through...sure enough some of them are...we are supposed to have a nice weekend with 70 degree weather...then they say Monday will be cold with a chance of snow showers...3 doctors appointments out of town on Monday too, sure wish the sun would stick around a while for our 2 hr drive...have a great weekend Kim...at least if it rains you have a pretty red umbrella to cover your head with! LOL...Love, Robyn and Daisy Mae

Your photo's are beautiful! It's as if I could just reach out and pick some of your lovely flowers. The colors are so vibrant. Truly beautiful!!! It seems like just a few weeks ago you were trying to figure out your new camera. Well girl, I think you got the hang of it. : )
Have a great weekend!
Blessings,

We are finally enjoying some sun and warmth up here in NH. There was one day last week when the weatherman said we were warmer than Florida! Sorry!

Kim, It was sooo nice to meet you today, my daughter, her friend and I had a wonderful time on the home tour and enjoyed seeing all the great homes and meeting all the special homeowners. Were not for you mentioning the tour on your very special blog we would have missed a very special day. Thanks again for being you and bringing your colorful blog and words of wisdom to me. Because of both I have added color back into my life and home! Thanks again, Cindy

Spring is life
Spring is hope
So is love and
happiness.
Spring renews.
Without spring,
life is forlorn.
Spring is nostalgia
after bitter storm.
Put spring in your heart

Hi Kim, Rosie and I have been drinking in all your beautiful pictures that you did for Romantic Country. You truly have a great talent. Each one of your photographs brought us in to the picture through color and texture. We hope you continue to work for the magizine and bring more beautiful pictures in to our life. Come and see the expanded shop when in Bradenton. Keep up the great work Nancy and Rosie (Cobwebs and Retro Rosies)
