Outdoor Wednesday and What's On Your Wall Wednesday!!
Welcome to Outdoor Wednesday, hosted by Susan at A Southern Daydreamer.
It's sunny, but a little chilly today and the blue skies are just a big tease for the warmer weather. I'm sharing pictures that always make me smile and I hope they put smiles on your faces too.
I pooch sit occasionally for Coco, my DIL's family Yorkshire Terrier. In July 2007, they adopted Chanel, another little Yorkie puppy, to their family and I got to pooch sit both little girls. I was so excited. Baby Chanel was 9 weeks old when they brought her home. A month later I was pooch sitting again and took pictures this time. (I think they each weigh about 4 lbs.)
Baby Chanel - 9 weeks old!
Baby Chanel sitting in my Wave Petunias. (She was about 13 weeks old.) The petunias didn't die last winter, they just continued to grow & bloom. I hope they last this year, but we've had some very cold nights, so I may be planting them again.
Chanel is sitting by a Limelight hydrangea. The flowers are amazing on this bush!
Big sister Coco sitting by a hydrangea. Coco was about 2 years old then.
Coco wasn't so impressed with the big flowers.

Welcome to the first What's On Your Wall Wednesday hosted by Barb at Grits and Glamour.
I'm sharing two Thomas Kinkade paintings located in our family room with you. We have several of his paintings, I love the houses, but my husband prefers the mountain scenes and these are two of his favorites.

Diane...what a cute little pooch! And your petunias are a gorgeous purple...and hydrangeas...ahh one of my favorites (I think I have 15-20 in my yard and they are a beautiful blue in late summer)
Thanks for sharing your flowers and Happy Outdoor Wednesday!
Aww Diane!
Chanel and Coco are sooo cute!
I love Thomas Kinkade.
I have quite a few I have collected over the years.
Yours are gorgeous!
Oh Diane, those puppies are so precious, I just wanted to grab them right through my computer monitor!!!!!
And that first Kinkaide I think is just gorgeous. Well, both are, but I like the first better.
Justine :o )
those dogs are adorable! I could snuggle up with them by a warm fire.
Thomas Kinkaide is one of my favorites. I do his puzzles every winter. I'm working on one now. I have 2 large ones in the basement waiting for me to glue them.
Those little Yorkie babies stole my heart!!! I love what you have on your walls too...but those precious puppies are to die for...
;-) Bo
Oh, how absolutely adorable! I can't even see the flowers I'm so in love with the dogs! Oh cute! Cute! Cute! Yorkies are some of my favorite dogs! Thanks for sharing. I'll be smiling all night.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Diane, that sweet little puppy is a doll!!
I also enjoyed seeing your Thomas Kinkade's.
Darling babies.... thanks, Maryrose
Diane, I love your sweet little babies. They are the cutest little things.
I also love Thomas Kinkade. This was a great post.
~Terrie~
Ooh, what sweet little babies! Coco and Chanel are just bundles of love, aren't they!
All the best, Lana
cute puppies and beautiful plants.
I love the puppy pics and the What's On Your Wall meme is great, it's fun to see what someone chooses to decorate their walls.
Your cuties look like stuffed animals among the flowers. I wondered where you lived to have your petunias last through the winter. I'm just a short drive from you but it is too cold for petunias in the winter.
Lovely Kinkade's.
Kathy b
Diane, Chanel and Coco are sooooo cute.. as well as your beautiful flowers. Your pictures are beautiful girl.. hope all is well your way..hugs ~lynne~

Love the names of the puppuies!
I think it suits them so much... Just because they are the most adorable puppies everrrrrrrrrrr!

Those little Poochies are soooo cute---"Pooch Sitting" would be so much fun with them--especially if I got to enjoy them while surrounded by your beautiful flowers! Your TK prints are great!
Have a great Wednesday! Dana
Oh I love the doggie pictures. So cute! They remind me of my little pup.
It's so nice to see some flowers as well, with snow and ice piling up outside right now.
Thanks for sharing!
~Michelle
Hi Diane... What cute little dogs your daughter has... And Chanel & Coco... mmmmmmm wonder where their name came from... I can smell it...LOL LOL As for your Thomas Kinkade's they are awesome... Definitely one of my favorite artists... They had a wonderful gallery in St. Augustine which my honey & I always enjoyed visiting... Did you know if he is in the area you live and at a gallery visiting he will put additional highlights on your painting... There are quite a few little interesting things about his paintings as I am sure you already know... Very cool huh??? Have a wonderful day...
(((HUGS)))
Donna
