a splash of color and a giveaway winner...

There is color everywhere!


Soon enough, the brutal heat of our Phoenix summer will settle in and all these delicate desert blossoms will burn up and fly away, but not today.

Today these trees and bushes in my yard are bursting with color and I'm not going to let what might happen tomorrow, take away from that.




What wonderful little gifts nature is sharing with me.
I can see all of this from my window, so pretty.
Even when they fall to the ground and make a carpet of yellow (and I sneeze my head off)...


I hope you see something beautiful today too.

Thank you all so very much for entering the colorful Beach Polish giveaway.

The winner is KariAnne from Thistlewood Farm.

Congratulations KariAnne!  Please send me your mailing information and they'll be on their way - jeanette(at)evertonterrace.com.

Gorgeous photos. Didn't you say that your degree is in photography? And what kind of camera do you use? I love cameras so I ask lots of people :)

Nice pictures! A lot of these got blown away in our freak Springtime storm yesterday, but we do get to enjoy them for a little while longer.

Hello hello!
What a wonderfully bright and happy post!
Sweden is in full blossom too and I am overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. The Birch trees have just burst open in fine pale green leaves, and every where there are Spring flowers which the kids love to pick. (I have run out of vases!)

Congratulations to the lucky winner!

Lots of love and thank you for dropping by today. Am so glad you liked the detox post. x
