the color purple(s)

So long spring, we are ready for summer.  Hopefully Summer will bring some sunshine.  I couldn't help but share these lovely little spring purples since I've been craving purple everything lately.  Purple clothing, purple yarn, purple beads, purple fabric ... you get the picture.  And who doesn't love the pale purple of a perfect spring lilac...

or speedwell's...

and who could forget the Iris.  Of course all these purples have come and gone for the season.  We'll have to see if the chartreuse green of the lady's mantle and Hydrangea create the same feeling.  See you again next year little flowers and I'll get to work on my little purple projects.

 We recently spent the weekend at Verona Beach State Park and I couldn't resist sharing this sign.  I think I may create my own version with chalkboard for entertaining.  I'll add that to the list of projects.

The walking path along the lake provides many little (and big) things to see like these little yellow flowers against the rocks,

and a huge assortment of driftwood and trees.
