Blue Monday!
It's Blue Monday and a collage of blue flowers are just the perfect thing to cheer us up on a blah Monday!
Can you tell that I am oh so ready to start planting flowers? So far, I have Violas waiting to be planted, and several hydrangeas to be moved from their pots. I pulled weeds out of one of the flower beds last week, then it started raining again. I'm going to the nursery when the weather clears up!
The collage is made up of some of my favorite blue flowers on Flickr.
Sally, thank you for hosting your weekly Blue Monday event. It's always a pleasure to visit the other participants to check out their blue posts. You can see the list of other participants by clicking on Smiling Sally.
Enjoy!

Diane, those are just GORGEOUS! I never realized there were this many beautiful blue flowers.
Happy Blue Monday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
This is so beautiful!! I, too, am anxious to be planting flowers again. Thank you for sharing.
Karen
Diane, what beautiful flowers and what beautiful color!...Christine
Love the blue flowers. They make me think of spring :0). While we don't really experience a true change of season...Spring here is wonderful.
Hmm, are those Kinkade's I see in your banner. Lovely! I have a few of my own. His paintings are so serene and calming.
What a wonderful collage of blue flowers.I am so anxious for Spring to get here.I have started cleaning beds but like you it started raining so had to stop for a little.
Happy Blue Monday!
I am surprised at how many different blue flowers there are. That is such a soothing picture! Ahhhhh.....Linda
These are beautiful...hydrangeas just wow me!
Happy Blue Monday to you!
Hi Diane...what a gorgeous collection of blues...were these in your garden last year...if so, it must have been spectacular!
;-) Bo
Compared to other colors, there are so few blues in flowers. I think that's what makes these so special. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
Wow Diane that was just incredible... I just loved the blue flowers...
HUGS,
Donna
Hi Diane!! I love your blue flowers! I am going to have to check into using them more in my beds. For some reason I always go straight to reds! My camera is by the door and I am stalking the mailman!!! Any day now!!! Have a great week!!! hugs...Debbie
Beautiful! I am not much of a gardener, but I do love pretty flowers.
Pretty blues! I am so ready for spring and a bit warmer weather! Spring is one of my favorite seasons, the other is Fall! I'm not a too hot or too cold fan.
What lovely blue flowers. I can hardly wait until it's warm enough here to see *real* flowers and start planting.
Thanks for stopping by to see me--hope you have a great Monday☺
Hi Diane! What a beautiful collage of blue flowers! Spring is really going to be welcome this year :0)
Beautiful collage....I love all the blues....I am dreaming of spring.....we have had so much rain the past few days....so the ground will be nice and ready for planting soon....
Hugs,
Mo :-)
Beautiful blue! Some I don't recognize I will have to look them up...favs are always the hydrangea and allium
Like your taste in music also!!
Blue is such a special color in the garden. Beautiful collage! Get ready. Springs a com'in!
Kathy b
Such gorgeous flowers...really makes me long for springtime! Happy Blue Monday!
We're all itching for Spring.i don't work in the yard,but i love Spring cleaning and fixing up everything that's been waiting all winter...Ann
I'm just jumping up and down waiting for Spring to be sprung! Your blues are just stunning.
JudyBug
The flowers are beautiful. Soon we will be able to plant pansies - this year I'll try the beautiful blue. Happy Blue Monday!

i'm so not the gardener.i can only dream of colors in my yard as beautiful as your blues. i would love a yard filled with roses & wild flowers, with lots & lots of color.
marie
That's beautiful! Aren't those mosaics so much fun to make! It's such a surprise every time it pops up and you can finally see what all the photos look like together!
Happy Blue Monday Diane!
Gorgeous blue flowers!
Susan
These are beautiful. I really need to plant more blue in my garden this year :)
Oh, blue flowers are my favorites...love these. Yes, I do find that sometimes the dance is stubborn as a bulldog with a bone...

I love blue flowers!!!!!!! they are sooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Diane, your blue and pink flower collages are so pretty! They have me longing for spring, it's coming! I have some plants budding out and I'm so exited!
I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and thought about your yummy mini bundt cakes, but didn't know which frosting to get(should have written it down). I'll let you know when I make them, they still sound delicious! Your dinner with the asparagus and mango chicken sausage sounds great too. Chase loves asparagus so I know he will like this. Keep those recipes coming!! Kristen
Hi Diane!! The package came!!! I have posted them! Come and see!! They are gorgeous!! Thanks so much!!! hugs...Debbie
Gorgeous blue Monday on my Tuesday morning! I lost 45 pounds last year and still want to lose more. I think my standstill is because I haven't been diligent enough tracking what I eat. Every now and then I slip something between my lips that never, ever should have been there.
Diane,
I can't thank you ENOUGH for all the wonderful comments you made on my postings! I truly appreciate it!!
I'm going to add you to my blogroll! Your collages are beautiful! Thank you again for visiting! L~
Diane, I don't know what's going on with my guestbook, but I think I just accidently deleted you!! Sorry about that! :-)
When you have time...could you swing back by and sign it again? I would sure appreciate it. I'm new at this and the site seems to be down right now too.
Thanks...and thanks again for all the wonderful comments you left on each post!! L~
i so love blue in the garden! beautiful collage~
pink one too!
I love your collage and I love blue flowers!
I'm sorry you missed out on the pancake deal. : (
Diane, thanks for stopping in girl.. it means the world.. hopefully things will smooth out for just a bit..hugs ~lynne~
Hi Diane, Thank you so much for info on my post yesterday! :)
Your BLUE flower pictures are gorgeous! ~Rhonda :)
Just stunning! I'm not much of a blue person but I love flowers in any color!
