CHRISTMAS COMES IN EVERY COLOR...................




Yes......your eyes are not deceiving you.....that IS a blue poinsettia.....


My local grocer is one great store....they carry everything and I mean everything.

The other day was there and came across this unusual plant....a BLUE POINSETTIA....of course it came home with me.

It actually is getting bluer by the day....I'm assuming they did this by putting food coloring in the water when they watered an off white plant.  How clever is that?

Pretty neat....huh?

Hugs from here,

Jo

    Why am I not surprised that you would be the one to find a beautiful blue poinsettia. That really is incredible.

    That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I'm glad you figured out how they got it to turn blue because I had no idea. Thanks for the tip!

    Happy Monday

    Oh, how I love it. Simply beautiful. Blue is one of my favorite colors. Food coloring. That is a great idea.

    Oh Jo, I simply love them! I didn't know they came in blue! If you pop by my site (it moved by the way) You'll notice that I simply love blue and silver for Christmas!

    Wow how cool is that!! Looks like something AJ's Fine Foods would come up with. I bet you are the only one on your block with a blue poinsettia :o)
    Have a great day.

    Well,that's a first...never seen a blue poinsetta. My sister would love that as Blue is her favorite color.
    I'd like one in Yellow.....(my fav. color) but I don't suppose that would look very Christmasy

    Good Morning Sweet Lady!
    I must confess I have never seen a blue pointsettia! I love the look! I could just imagine what an amazing painting you would create using this plant.
    Have a wonderful day,
    Hugs Rosemary...xxx

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY......I'M GOING TO HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

I turn 67 today.....and actually I feel better as the years accumulate.  Since I've gotten older I actually have decided that I will celebrate each day during the month of October...just being grateful for being healthy and alive.   I hope each one of you who follow this little blog of mine celebrate each day along with me.... Here are some of the things I have planned for my birthday month: 1.  Listing our current home the end of the first week in November.  We are pretty excited to be moving into a little smaller spot as it means less work and maintenance.  We just want to be able to live more and work less.  Although we still have not found our new spot.....we know it is out there.   2.  Taking a 15 day cruise on the Rhine from Amsterdam to Budapest.  We will visit 5 countries along the way.  One of the stops will be in the place I was born....Nuremberg, Germany.  My  family  left Germany right...

PUTTING ON MY GYPSY SHOES......................

Bo Bunny Paper Collection Well.......the coach is packed...the laundry done in the condo....and we will be on our way tomorrow. I often do feel like a gypsy moving from one spot to another....and each year my gratitude grows as I am able to continue this lifestyle. I truly would love to "do up" my coach in Gypsy Style...but alas....not too practical as things probably would be flying all over as we traveled down the road.  (O: But.....a girl can dream.....can't she? ~~~ My suitcase is packed with memories To be opened further down the road When my caravan must be halted The bag waits to be opened Stories to be told and shared Like the gypsy's of so long ago But for now....the wheels keep turning And my case grows larger still Waiting for the day..I must be stopped   And my heart, to the brim, will be filled Hugs from me to you, Jo Gypsy photos:  Electric Gipsyland on Flickr

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS

This is a picture of our little tree this year.  Each year our trees seem to be smaller, a function of our getting older and just wanting to deal with less stuff.  I'm sure a few of you feel them same.  Although it does seem to be a little weird that we want to deal with fewer Christmas decorations and give each other MORE STUFF in the way of presents under the tree.   Ahhh...being human is such a quandary sometimes!                                          MERRY CHRISTMAS                                                          Jo
