Pansies ~


Sometimes it's the little things in life, that bring us the most joy.

I love flowers and pansies are always one of my favourites.
I was looking out the window and there was a gentle breeze blowing and it looked like the pansies in a pot on the deck table, were waving to me. They come in so many pretty colours and the delicate looking flower often remind me of a smiling face.

I hope that you are having a great week
Hugs
Carolyn

    Hi Carolyn,
    Pansies are the sweetest little flowers I think.
    I love their pretty faces. My favorites are the antique rose ones. Now that the weather is getting a little cooler I plan on getting more for my fall pots.
    Hugs,
    June
    You are so right about the little things.

    Hey Sweetie, such a beautiful post! You're so right, it is the little things in life that gives us so much pleasure. Pansies are such a beautiful flower; dainty and strong.

    See you when I get back on Saturday.

    Pansies used to be one of my Grandma's favorites, so they hold a special place in my heart. I also like that they keep blooming all summer long for you if you pick them!

    I love pansies too, but it will be quite some time before I can plant them here--still too hot!

    thank you so much for visiting, Melissa.
    I am afraid sometimes I have a brown thumb and with the heat of summer some plants seem to curl up their toes.

    Hugs

    Oh yes! The power of a velvet pansies! Always make me smile too~
    They grow at different times of the year in different places. No pansies in our neck of the Texas woods now. Way too HOT!
    Have a wonderful day.
    Enjoy your sweet flowers.

    it absolutely IS the little things in life that can mean so much....

    my doctor told me the other day that a lot of her patients that are mentally and physically not well... are the same ones that have no hobbies..no interests...no joy in the little or less observed small occurrences in their lives. She and I always have such an animated and great chat and she always says thanks for coming to visit.... lol...

    Hi Sherri,

    Yes, I think we all love pansies.
    good luck with back to school, for your children.

    Hi Suzie,

    They would be great in a bouquet.
    I loved the bouquet you shared on your post the other day.

    Hi Lola and Nora,

    You have something for me, I am going across to the City today, so will check back later.
    Thank you very much, for visiting too.

    HI Jodie,

    It is a lovely pot. I might do a post on them.
    They are made by a company Morris & James and they are all hand made on the wheel, even the great big pots.
    Thanks for your kindness.

    thank you so much Constance and always great to have you visit. They always make me smile too.

    Hi Vee,

    I agree with you and the Doctor, one really does need to have an interest and hobby in life, to keep busy and happy.

    Hi Rosemary,

    Many thanks for visiting my blog.

    Hugs
    Carolyn

    thank you for visiting my blog.

    Bon jour Fifi,

    So many others have said that Pansies remind them of their Grandmothers and I think that is why they leave us with happy memories.

    Hugs

    Hi Carolyn,
    I love the beauty, simplicity, and positive message you've shared. Pansies do add a joyful note, often providing color when nothing else is blooming. I think newer varieties are greatly improved over what we used to have.

    Hi Bill,

    Yes, they always seem to add a splash of brightness in winter, when there is not much other colour about.
