About a month ago, my husband brought home a plumeria branch. Rumor has it, if you let it dry out completely, you can then stick in the ground and it will grow into a tree. Well, what’s the hurt in trying, right? So, I threw in down on the rocks beside the house, completely forgetting it was even there until yesterday when I turned the corner.

I was welcomed by these AMAZING little blooms. I will certainly miss these trees the most. My favorite time of the year over here, other than when the trees are in bloom, is when all the flowers begin to fall off the trees, but are still so beautiful as they scatter the ground.

Last picture is a bit dark, forgive me. I’m still learning how to use The Hubs camera. Aren’t they just the most beautiful flowers? I hope they brighten up your weekend! 

*sigh*… ’tis the end of color week… so sad. I noticed a trend with the blue in my house… it’s all pretty much the exact same color! It is such a wonderful color! Enjoy! 

*Ikea vase that needs some flowers.

*Plastic bag holder I made from old tshirts.
Although, it’s been pretty empty for a while now, which is a good thing. 

*My blue sewing machine. She’s been a little neglected this week.

*My yoga mat…also been neglected.

*Time for some vitamin D. Just a few minutes out in the Hawaiian sun. 

*Tshirts waiting to be screen printed.

…better late than never! Yesterday proved to be quite a very busy day! My husband is the personal chef for the US Coast Guard Admiral who oversees the Hawaiian Islands among other areas in the Pacific. He has a dinner for 10 tonight and needed help prepping and cooking yesterday. I really enjoy helping him because I learn so much and get to practice my knife skills… Top Chef here i come!! haha 

Anyway… hope you enjoy these photos. Not my favorite color day I must say. I found it difficult to photograph red.

*Peppers ready for Cinco de Mayo dinner.

Oh how I love orange! Funny thing though, I didn’t realize how little orange I have around me until today. Poor orange, so left out. I will have to work on adding more orange into my life. 

*Sign on storefront window.

*Orange flowers on the kitchen sink.

**Thank you for the lovely comments. I am adoring seeing all the beautiful photos everyone is posting. This has been so much fun. Can’t wait to see tomorrow!! 

Yellow is not always my favorite color, but it ALWAYS make me happy except when I see yellow cars. That doesn’t make me very happy. I’m loving this challenge because all day I have been noticing yellow everywhere! Several times I wanted to stop my car in the middle of traffic to snap a shot of the double yellow lines, but I thought that probably would not be the best idea. 

*Yellow flowers on my desk.

*Close up of my IKEA lamp (turned on).

*Trash on the recycle bin.

I’ve decided to join in on Curious Bird’s Color Week. And today… my favorite color… GREEN! This comes up at the perfect time since we went camping on Kauai a couple days ago. You can’t get much greener than Kauai! Tomorrow I will take new shots, but I couldn’t pass these up.

*The first one is my absolute favorite!

I’m all for Apple Computers, but for those of you who can’t seem to get your hands on one… there’s hope! You too can have the fun Photo Booth pics on the cheap. This was a total accident, but I thought I would share since my husband and I had many, MANY laughs while shooting these. Even Bonsai got in on the action as you can see below!

Who knew a plastic bag full of water could be so fun!? Try it for yourself, and share the photos!
