Mitch's nose and lips are black!
Our portable phone is black!
Dad's scherenschnitte picture that our wonderful friends Phil and Amy had made especially for dad is black! What a beautiful meaningful gift it is!
You all know that we have a Mute swan named Dauby. We used to have a pair of black swans named Buttons and Betty that lived on our pond until someone stole them! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
These are the black pods on our blue false indigo perennial plant.
This is the black discus that went with dad to the Transplant Olympic games in Wisconsin!
And my least is black!
This is dad's antique pencil sharpener. Mom says it's kinda fun to use!
Next week's color is lavender!
So until next time.................
Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch

That was a fun post because you have some unusual black items around. Black is a super cool color because we love black poodles!
ReplyDeleteThat's terrible that someone stole Buttons and Betty. I can't imagine who would do that. They must have some pond of their own somewhere. Hopefully they are doing well.

Great collection!!
ReplyDeleteWe're thinking the Mango should participate next week as his dog cave is now lavender!

Wonderful collection of black! We love everything! Lots of love, Holly and mom
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of blacks! How lovely to have your own black swan - though there really should be three. How can people do that?
ReplyDeleteThe antique pencil sharpener reminds me of the ones I used to use at school. Not quite so old but enough to cause blisters when sharpening pencils for 30 children. Then I ordered an electric one ;-)
Who was Maggie talking to on the phone? hehe
ReplyDeleteThe black swans are really lovely.

ps-mom says sorry they couldn't get together while back east, but time was somewhat limited.
I wonder who Maggie rang on the phone. I was a bit surprised that someone could steal swans. Couldn't the swans fly away from the thieves?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great black items!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info about why the swans couldn't fly. Did you already know that in the centuries before the discovery of Australia (and its black swans), the expression "a black swan" meant something impossible?
ReplyDeleteOne of Grandpa Angus's nicknames was "black lips." You know, most doggies have black lips, but there is something about those dale lips that really stands out. Not to mention the big old snooters you have.
ReplyDeleteSlobbers,

Hi, everyone -
ReplyDeleteMama is maaaaaaaaaaad thinking that someone could steal your pet swans. She feels the steam coming out of her ears.
We love the picture of your nose and lips, Mitch but Mama's favorite is the swan picture.
Love -
