periwinkle

Here is a lone periwinkle in the hedge at the front of the house.
I have heard that a rose in a garden of tulips would be considered a weed.   I really don't agree with that, a rose is a rose wherever it may be.   And this lone periwinkle plant in the hedge isn't a weed.   It is a pretty pink periwinkle wherever it may grow.   I don't know how it got here in the hedge.   We do have a lot of periwinkles growing along the side of the house.
By the way, just look at the paws and part of a head in the lower left of the picture.   It is our cat Molly.   She is so friendly and ever faithful because she follows me everywhere in the yard.   An incredibly sweet cat.
The periwinkles along the side of the house are pink but there is one periwinkle with a very pretty reddish color to it.   Yeah, there is Molly in the picture again.   She sticks to me like glue.    I have heard that cats that are black have a sweet disposition, like black Labradors in dogs.   Has anyone also noticed that the black cats seem to be more friendly?
And finally, Florida just isn't Florida without a pink flamingo in the garden.
Have a pleasant day wherever you may be.   Sit under a shade tree while reading a good book.   Of course, you do this while the hamburgers are cooking on the barbecue grill.   Be good.   Lew
