PINK SATURDAY AT THE BEACH

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com

Another fun Pink Saturday, compliments of our hostess, Beverly

 It's February, and we enjoyed a fabulously beautiful day on the beach, at Ft. Morgan, Alabama, on the Gulf of Mexico. This is why we live in the Deep South! 

Can you see that I'm wearing a PINK tee shirt?!!! And, Cupcake has PINK bows in her hair!!!

Cowboy says, "No PINK for me!"

I wish I could say that this PINK house, belongs to me, but (deep sigh) it doesn't...

 And, I wish I had found this PINK shell today, but I didn't.


But, never mind...  I'm just truly grateful that I could spend a day in the warm sun and the warm sand, in the middle of winter.
I hope y'all had a HAPPY PINK SATURDAY, too.

BEACH HOUSES FOR OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY

As much as I love my house on the Bay, with my own little beach, I can't help but dream of a house right on the ocean. I imagine going to sleep with the sound of the crashing waves, right outside the door. And, waking up in the morning to endless expanses of beach for a morning walk. On a recent trip to Destin, I took pictures of a few that I think would "fill the bill"!









Aren't these just dreamy? I love all the soft pastel colors that reflect the colors of nature that surround them. Can't you imagine catching the breezes from those balconies, while enjoying the breath-taking views. Notice all the different styles of columns and railing designs. I'm especially partial to the dark wooden hurricane shutters---pretty and functional!
Would you choose one built in the sand dunes and surrounded by palm trees, or would you rather have the ocean lapping right up underneath your porch?
Decisions, decisions...

As of now, we are fortunate enough not to have any oil in Mobile Bay, but please continue to keep the Gulf Coast in your prayers. I'm sure y'all are as heartbroken as I am to see the oil covered wildlife.
