With all the rain we have had lately here in Georgia, our clematis vine has just exploded with blooms and new growth, in general. I actually plan to go out and purchase a second structure for it to wrap around and attach to, as the privacy fence behind it isn't really meant for that function. ;-)
This first picture is the very first bloom that opened up a couple of weeks ago. Initially they are a deep, vibrant purple...
After they open up (and I suppose due to sitting in the sunlight), they fade to a pretty periwinkle color...
And here you can see how many blooms we have now!
And last but not least, a week ago I finally got around to going for my first (and MUCH-needed) pedicure of the season. I no longer have to be embarrassed by my feet!
Happy Saturday! Enjoy the weekend!

How beautiful! I noticed it's growing near a window of your house - I hope someone's bedroom? Or perhaps the kitchen so you can see them everyday :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is growing just outside our living room/den downstairs. We do usually have the blinds open so we can see it :-)
DeleteThe clematis is gorgeous, but so are your toes. Nice shoes too. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
DeleteThose clematis are so gorgeous. Interesting to see the colour change.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is funny how they are such a deep purple at first and then the next time I turn around, they're that lighter color. I've never seen the "in-between"...
DeleteI love purple flowers! And what gorgeous shots....and your feet look relaxed and ready for spring.
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me that I need to get my first pedi of the season, too!
Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST
Thank you! Hope you get to have your pedi soon! Mine was so relaxing!
DeleteLovely flowers and jealous of your pedi. I wish I have the time. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteAw, maybe some time will open up. I almost thought I wasn't going to and then one day my schedule just sort of opened up and I got my pedi on a last-minute whim.
DeleteIs that clematis? So pretty!! Love your toes, too!!
ReplyDeleteYep! I never knew what it was until I found this plant. I had heard the name but hadn't ever seen one...
DeleteThe flowers are beautiful. This weeks seems to be the week of flowers ;) Happy mother's day!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Saturday Snapshots

Thank you -- yes, I have noticed that, too, about the flower posts. I guess it's because of Spring!
DeleteGorgeous blooms and one of my favorite colors!
ReplyDeleteThank you -- mine, too!
DeleteWow, I love those shoes! I have horrid wide feet, and can't wear anything like that, so I clomp about in walking boots or comfy shoes... or go barefoot! My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/JyyYT
ReplyDeleteBarefoot is the best -- I would go barefoot all the time if I could!
DeleteBoth of the flower colors are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you -- yes, it is the best of both worlds, I guess :-)
DeleteThose flowers are beautiful, I love the purple! I need to give myself a pedicure so I'll have a reason to buy sandals, lol.
ReplyDeletebeautiful flowers! and great pedi. :) isn't it funny how a pedicure makes you feel better all over? I just got one and hadn't had one in two years -- too long!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers and color are beautiful! I just had my first pedicure of the season today!!
DeleteThank you both -- yes, pedicures are amazing. The gal who gave me mine was particularly good with the massaging, too, so it was bliss!
DeleteBloomin' lovely - your feet too....
ReplyDeleteHave a good week.
Thank you!! Hope you have a wonderful week, as well!
