Purple Love

This tree with the
purple flowers is near
my home, and every
time I pass by,
I admire it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 When I was at the
store, this Taffy was
sitting right in the
center of the store, 
and I just had
to buy some. Guess
what flavor it is?
Huckleberry.
 
 
 
Have a good
rest of the week.

Hi Sheri,

The purple tree is so pretty and isn't that a lovely colour.
The taffy looks yummy in their lovely wrappers.

Good evening Sheri,

Oh, and the taffy looks yummy!
Enjoy your week

Such a pretty post Sheri. I love the Crepe Myrtle tree, that happens to be my favorite color , I have a small pink one. Who doesn't love Saltwater Taffy in the summer , right? Huckleberry sounds so cute !

HUCKLEBERRY? Now I've never heard of this...but it sounds as if it is just delicious! Sheri my sweet one, how are you? I miss everyone so much, but I have so much to do; I was on a three day trip out of state, just got back on Tuesday and had to plunge into a writing assignment. I leave for California (L.A.) next Wednesday and will be there until the following Monday.

ENJOY THE LILACS MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND! Anita

This reminds me of a quote I read a hile ago:

"I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don't notice it.
Alice Walker"

I love purple. I love Lavanda and I'm always happy when some of my Hortensias get that "purple feeling". I believe it is soothing and energizing at the same time.
Do you know jacarandás? The tree? There's a street close to my work that is lined with them, and when the flowers fall it seems like a purple carpet joins the fun... need to go there and check if it's in full form. If so, I'll take a picture and share with you.

Love,
Teresa


So glad He Isn't pissed at you ahahahah

Alina said...

Hi Sheri, Your pictures are beautiful. Looks like a Butterfly bush, I have a couple in purple.
Love the taffy and Huckleberry sounds really yummy.
Have a wonderful weekend. I am afraid that here in So CA we are in for a very HOT weekend.

Lovely post! Penny is right, that purple tree is a Crepe Myrtle tree. I have a raspberry pink one in my front yard. They come in many colors. The taffy looks so good!

Oh I love Taffy. The bush actually looks like a Lilac bush. It's so beautiful, wish I had one of those. I'm happy that you got some rain.. We've actually had to much of it..That's the way it goes either to much or not enough.. Yes you can have the picture. Feel free to use it anytime. I found it on the web..lol. Thanks for your sweet words on mine.. Love, Susie

THAT'S what I missed on my FL trip- Salt water taffy for the kids!!! Darn it! I love your beautiful lilac flowers here- they are gorgeous. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, too- xo Diana

Susie said...

Sheri, My mother loved the color purple...anything that had a purple coloring would catch her eye. Daddy used to say she had 20 pairs of various shades of purple pants.LOL I loved the flowers, and I wonder how hucklberry taffy taste. I have not been able to visit your site for some time...so yes, I like italian food. I can only imagine eating the real thing in Rome.xoxo,Susie

Oh I love bushes with purple flowers, i would love that in my back yard or something. It would be cool to just step into the back yard and cut some of those into a vase for the house. Ohhh so fun.
