Blue Green Ink Bottles

For many years a collection of old blue green ink bottles has sat on a little shelf on the wall in the dining area here at the lake.



I spent a lot of the day today in this room and the adjoining kitchen...
...as fresh mountain air and a lot of outdoor activity keeps my family and friends hungry!



Anyway... I happened to glance up at the shelf as the sunlight was hitting the little bottles and all the different blues and greens looked so pretty...



I keep found bird feathers in the little bottles...
...and everything was looking a bit dusty...
...so I took them all down and rinsed them off ...
...then took them outside to photograph.



Wouldn't they would look sweet with a single blossom in each?



...but time is short before the next meal needs to be fixed...
...so my feathers will have to do!



It's funny how something that tickled my fancy ten years ago ...
...still has the ability to make me smile...



We couldn't have asked for a prettier weekend...
...the sun shone and there was no humidity.
Everyone was out enjoying the lake in the boats, canoe and kayaks.

Badminton, horseshoes, biking and sunning...
...it was a perfect August day.



I love to be surrounded by my family and friends...
...to hear the teenage girls giggle and the young adults debating current events...



I will sleep well tonight...

...I better...
...tomorrow morning will be here soon ...

...and they will all wake up hungry for blueberry pancakes again!
