PINKNESS in the Sunshine. . . . . for awhile!

Weather in Missouri is known for how quickly it can change.  For instance, this is what THE STONE RABBIT was doing on Wednesday. . . . yep, that boy was basking in the warmth of the  SUN!  In fact, it was so bright, he had to put on his PINK sunglasses.  (If you would like to read the story about those PINK sunglasses, click HERE!)

 

Oh, yes!  It was a treat to have that sun visit us on Wednesday. 

Guess, what!  WE had another visitor, too, and THE STONE RABBIT was the first to spot this little PINK guest.

He spied the PINK bird as it sunned itself on our rock  planter wall!  (well it's really cement rock stuff.)

THE STONE RABBIT had never seen such a beautiful bird before!  The color of its feathers was a  shimmery PINK. . . . and it was clearly enjoying the fine temps, too!

Being the perfect host, THE STONE RABBIT, yelled out to the PINK bird,   "Hello!  Welcome to our yard! " 

He was so excited to meet the new visitor,  that  he promptly hopped over in its direction .

His fast movement, however,  startled the little bird and it immediately left the rock wall and headed for the grassy yard.

THE STONE RABBIT soon realized he had frightened the little PINK bird with his lightning quick hopping movements, so he came to a stop and softly said, "Little PINK bird, I didn't mean to scare you!  Please don't run away!"

The PINK bird heard the kindness in THE STONE RABBIT'S voice and it, too, stopped.  Then  it turned in the direction of the bunny.

THE STONE RABBIT introduced himself and asked the PINK bird its name.  A tiny  little voice replied, " My name is FENTON. . . . Little PINK Fenton. . . . . and I think I'm lost."

Oh my, THE STONE RABBIT felt so sad for Little Pink Fenton.  He had been lost once, too, as a baby bunny and he recalled how scared he had been.   Then he came closer to the shivering, shimmery bundle of PINKNESS and said, "Don't you worry.  You'll be safe here with us!"

 

With those reassuring words from THE STONE RABBIT,  Little Pink Fenton quit shivering and looked up at the rabbit friend. . . . and smiled.

Those two spent the afternoon outside, enjoying the warm sunny day. . . . .

and getting to know each other!

In fact, Little PINK Fenton has been with us ever since. . . . still not sure how to find her way back home.   However, she knows she's welcome to stay here. . . . actually, she fits right in!

   

Yes, THE STONE RABBIT and Little Pink Fenton met on that sunny day. . . which was day before yesterday.  This morning, when they headed outside, this is what was happening with our Missouri weather. . . . the temps were in the TEENS and it was SNOWING!

They didn't stay outside too long. . . .

instead,  they decided to come inside where it was nice and warm and watch the snow from atop the  table in the bay window.

It wasn't too long before You Know Who (well, if you don't know who.....her name is Twiggy Cat) had to join them.

   

  That's how they spent the afternoon. . . . new friends hanging out and watching the snowy January day in Missouri!

Later, THE STONE RABBIT suggested I take a picture of Little Pink Fenton to feature on my PINK SATURDAY post. 

I told him that was a BRILLIANT idea! :)

Please take time to visit HOW SWEET THE SOUND.  Beverly will have a long list of other bloggers who want to share their PINKS, too!
Have a great PINK SATURDAY!!

   
DANA

PS 

Thanks always go out to Beverly for her devotion to keeping such a great event going for all of us to enjoy!

As I told you last week, you should put these stories in some kind of storybook form. This is a great story of friendship and kindness with just a touch of humor. Are you sure you're not a great kiddie lit writer in disguise?

Loved "Fenton"!

[heather]

I love your pink bird! she's beautiful :)

[Keetha]

We have actually had sun flitting in and out between the clouds and snow over the last few days too. It has been LOVERLY - - - but not very warm.

I LOVE the new little pink birdie that has come to visit with Stone Rabbit!!!!!

[Ceekay]

Two hearts become friends.

Happy Pink Saturday Dana...
Oh sweetie, I so love this post. Stone Rabbit has now found a little "pink" Fenton and Twiggy even got in on the picture today. I loved the little scarf that you made for Fenton. So beautiful. You do such great work sweetie. I love to come and read and enjoy. Thank you for the "Happy Heart" today. I can always rely on you for that when I come on Pink Saturday.

Hope you all stay warm there today. We are already at 62 and climbing. It will be another beautiful day in the desert.

Country hugs and so much love...Sherry

Hi Dana...Happy Sunny Saturday! I have not started my work out routine (yikes! I have to be in a swim suit in 2 wks)and may never if I bake those brownies! Thanks for the receipe! Yes, I have been to Hobby Lobby...nice to have it so close. I live down the street a little from you, but would not make the walk home! LOL

[Betty Jo]

You truly know how to weave a good story Dana. I adore your pretty pink birdie. We had five inches of snow last night and it is now snowing again. I'm sooooo ready for some of that sunshine in your first photo. Beverly is great at organizing, you're good with tools; I just need the two of you to come and stay with me for a while! ♥

[Mermaid Debbie]

Hi Dana, glad that Stone Rabbit enjoyed the sunny day and made a sweet, new friend. Cute! Happy Pink Saturday.

Happy Pink Saturday,

Dana, once again I love the tale of the Stone Rabbit and the sweet Pink Fenton with the guest appearance by Twiggy Cat. You really should, as others have said, think about putting together these stories and photos and see about getting them published.

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday - and an even better week.

Sandra

[Pom Pom]

Twiggy Cat is so cute and she looks like her heart is a bit warmer than those other guys.

[sue]

Dana, what a sweet little story and pictures! Little Fenton is a cutie. :-)
I agree that you should compile a little book of some kind. These stories of the Stone Rabbit are precious. Thanks so much for the visit today. many hugs, Sue

[Mimi]

I ♥ to come here on Pink Saturday. Your blog is always so sweet and comforting. Cold and gloomy winter up here this year so Pink Saturday is one day I can always count on for a little pink ray of sunshine.

I am NEVER disappointed when I come to see you here on your blog. Your kind heart and gentle stories always touch me in some way. Add to that your delightful sense of humor and you have a pretty nice package, yes, you do☺

Thanks for being my pink sunshine today☺

Wishing you the comfort and warmth of those you love this weekend.

[Nancy]

I love stopping by to read the adventures of the Stone Rabbit and her friends. Glad to hear everyone is safe inside and staying warm.

I'm still visiting my list of Pink Saturday posts. Wishing you a wonderful week.

[Terri Steffes]

Fun post! We have snow on the ground.. about 2 inches. It was fun until I had to drive in it. Jeff City cleans their roads well so that is good.

[karen cox]

dana,
this is so adorable and you really should write children's books. I was wondering as Stone Rabbit wore those glasses in your front yard, I wonder what you neighbors are thinking. They must get such a kick out of you. Your new bird is lovely. Pink of course.

What Beautiful Habit,

Outstanding blog.
Cutest Post.

[CurtissAnn]

I was just imagining your neighbors watching you photograph the dear Stone Rabbit with his bright pink glasses. :) Boy, this has been on cold, snowy year! We are grateful to have moved south, but there have been record cold temps down here.

Thanks for the shout-out at my blog.
Hugs,

Hi Dana, banana, hooray, I'm back. Three days without the net was not fun. I now realize how much I enjoy blogging and visiting my friends. I missed you.

The stone rabbit is very wise to pick Fenton for a friend. She is pretty in her glimmering pink. You have a way with telling a story. I always love to visit you my friend. Fenton found a wonderful place to live. Where are you going to display her. Twiggy is a very curious cat huh? She is a pretty cat too.

I shared some Cheri' pics today. She is so adorable and smart. I sound just like a parent don't I. HA!. She IS our baby.
In fact she is trying to jump in my lap right now. Oops she just jumped up on the computer. quick action on my part saved her from writing some words with her feet. Laughing.

I better give her some attention. Yes, I am throwing you over for the pup. LOL.

Have a great day. I hope you didn't get too much of the white stuff.

Love, Jeanne

[Mary]

Darling saga of Pink Bird and Stone Rabbit. How nice that Twiggy joined in with them ;)
Really, the Fenton bird is super pretty :) Happy Pink Saturday to you all~

[Pat]

Oh Dana! This was so cute to read! You really should write a children's book ..you have such a sweet way of presenting a story in pictureds and words. I hope you make a book of these posts for your grandchildren in the very least.

Happy pinkness!

Hugs, Pat
