The pink flamingo in his new home.
Pumpkin flowers...they're so big and bright and the bees love them!
A pumpkin anatomy lesson...this flower bud is a male...no pumpkin bulge under it.
This one is the female...can you see the little bulge below the bud? (Right where the vines divide)
An update on our first pumpkins progress. Saturday, July 12.No new treasures to share. We had a busy weekend! Saturday we went to the Detroit Tigers game...we have season's tickets right by Magglio Ordonez on the right field side. Magglio is on the DL, a couple of weeks ago we watched him walk off the field with an injury. I missed seeing him there but he will be back after the All Star break. Sunday we worked around the yard and did errands...not so fun stuff. I think today I will check out a thrift store.
Have a great day! Hugs and happy treasure hunting!

Beautiful post Kim! I like the flamingo :) Your pumpkin is really growing! The flowers are pretty! I hadnt seen pumpkin flowers!
Hope you have fun at the thrift store! I am going to the Salvation Army in a bit to look for a quilt :) Hope you find what you are looking for!

Hi Kim,
Your pumpkins are definitely growing.
You will have to keep us posted with lots of pictures.
Your flamingo looks very fetching peeking out of the vines.

Hi Kim,
Thanks for visiting my blog.
How great to have pumpkins growing for the Fall. I tried it once, but it didn't work well for me.
How exciting.
Enjoy!

Hi Kim,
I read the story from Stone Rabbit and was laughing alot :) thanks for sharing that and I'm glad your little pink guy is out of the attic! Wow, your pumpkins are doing great and I don't think I've seen a pumpkin flower.Thanks for sharning. :) Happy Monday. Warmly, Deb
Love the pumpkin pics! I tried to grow some several years back but only vines came up with no pumpkins? Does that happen often?
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Happy Day!
I wish you could come to my sale too. I would love to meet a fellow blogger.
Hugs,
LeAnn:)
Very cool! I have been wanting to try and grow pumpkins, maybe next year!
Hi Kim, Congrats on the pumpkins! I love watching things such as that grow! Your flamingo cracked me up! I ordered 4 off of Ebay, and got them in a couple of weeks ago. My husband just happened to be here, of all days when the mail man delivered them! Let's just say he wasn't impressed and thought I had lost my mind! LOLOL! When we were down at Calabash last month, I saw where someone had some in their yard and had painted them polka dotted! They were so cute! I haven't found a pretty color in the plastic painting spray paint to redo mine with yet! I'm going to put them at the lake! I just loved The Stone Rabbit post Saturday with the flamingo! You girls are too funny!
Hugs, Rhonda :)
Oh Kim, I love your pumpkins! Mine aren't any where near that! Thanks so much for the birthday wishes for my hubby! it really made his day! :) Jen R
Your Flamingo looks soooo happy positioned in the middle of your punkin' patch! I'll be sure to show my Flamingo and THE STONE RABBIT the wonderful new spot where your bird now resides! I know he just must be thrilled to pieces to be released from the attic!! I'll bet the punkins get HUGE now that the Flamingo is there to watch over them!!!
Kim, I love your flamingo in the garden. He looks younger then six though. :) I loved the pumpkin lesson. Isn't it amazing that a little old pumpkin can imitate life!
Love ya,
Jeanne
Ps. You and the stone rabbit might bring about a new flamingo rush! :)
Your pink flamingo is so darling positioned right there beside the beautiful yellow pumpkin blossom!xorachel
Hi Kim!
Love your pink flamingo! I had my grandma's old plaster one by my little pond but it finally kind of flaked apart so it had to go to flamingo heaven! Thanks for the lesson in pumpkin anatomy. I didn't actually know how they look, I thought all blossoms ended up as pumpkins DUH!
Have a great day!
Hugs, Sherry

Our pumpkin plants are just starting to come up. Some of the seeds we planted didn't come up.
Love the flamingo. Have you ever been flocked?

If you don't have time for it I understand.
I love the flamingo. It adds that liitle something to your yard. I may "hunt" for a few this weekend.

hey that is a good ideal to put the flamingo in your garden Kim.
thank you for your visit.
Well I think that is a perfect spot for a flamingo...he might be the only flamingo that has his picture taken in a lovely garden. Your garden DOES look soooo lush and healthy.

Gardens are a delight... and what an awesome garden you have! I have enjoyed every pic... thanks for sharing...

I am jealous of the pumpkin progress. This is the second year we have had a vine, and no pumpkin yet. Last year I lost every blossom to the squirrels. Pesky critters!
