Loopy for Lupin

Although they are not my favorites

seeing lupin this time of year
make me smile

as with so many of the wildflowers
they take me back to a special time and place

at the farm
young and carefree

my grandmother had a special place
where these grew

they are not something
you have to plant

all you have to do
it throw the seeds in the spot where you want
a splash of color

they are self seeding
and spread like crazy

the purples seem to take over

over time

but there are some beautiful colors
out there too

pinks

and yellows too

these ones are very pretty

loving this color combo

there is nothing like going for a drive
and coming across a field of flowers

~pure love~

We do have many spots
in this neck of the woods
where you can find fields of lupin

but if we take a little drive
over the Confederation Bridge

we will be in Canada's smallest province

Prince Edward Island

or
PEI to the Canucks

or simply
"the island"
to the locals

you can find shots like this

PEI is known for its

red mud

potatoes

seafood


but probably most of all
for this little girl

Anne of Green Gables

this is the Green Gables house

I have many memories of family camping trips
to the island
as a young girl.

of course back then
we would take a ferry
as there was no bridge

fast forward 10 years or so
and we were heading over for
what we called
May Run Week-end

it was an excuse to
party - hard - all - week-end!
Yes ~ memories for sure

they have the most beautiful beaches
they really do...

I think we may have to spend a week-end
this summer
on the island

I hope the sun shines upon you
this week-end wherever you are

our forecast is calling for sun

my man is off on his fishing trip

I have a couple of projects on the go

and
some weeds beckoning me outside
at some point and time...

I have 4 chick flicks waiting for me

27 Dresses
Nine
Valentines Day
&
The Time Travelers Wife

I better get watching!!

Loads of lupin love to you
