STOP ON RED

Where in Walla Walla?

I love looking at and taking pictures of store windows. 

Most retail store windows in downtown Walla Walla change with the season. 

This particular window is always very eclectic, although I am not really sure what business resides inside.

APRIL CDP THEME DAY--SIMPLICITY + HAPPY 1ST ANNIVERSARY WWDP

Simply Beautiful . . . the Red Geranium

Nothing says summer like the age-old red pelargonium, aka red geranium. 

I have 21 of these beauties waiting to plant in my patio pots that will delight me 

with their cheery red blooms well into late October or November. 

At $2.88/plant, that's not a bad investment for seven months of pleasure.

My favorite variety is the Pelargonium x hortorum Calliope that is heat-loving and drought tolerant, 

which makes it perfect for Walla Walla's hot, dry summers.

And of course, my favorite geranium color is red because I love anything red.

By the way, April 1 is my one-year anniversary for my Walla Walla Daily Photo blog and posting on the City Daily Photo site. 

Without intention, I initially caused quite a stir with my not-quite-official first submission, but once the dust settled, 

I have hopefully become a respectable CDP member, albeit not always a consistent daily poster. 

Suffice it to say, I am still the new kid on the block.

I enjoy the challenge of sharing photos of Walla Walla, a quintessential small American town 

in eastern Washington state, with my followers and readers of City Daily Photo.

FEMINIST WINE?

Distinctive * Approachable * Whimsical * Delicious * Playful * Affordable

"These are wines crafted by women, for women, that can stand on their own."

I didn't write this copy; it's from their website. But after reading it, I am ready to give their wine a try. I was simply smitten by the red lips logo.

I LOVE ANYTHING RED

It's time to break out the new pair of gloves.
