Sailors' Delight

Evening Sky at Sunset


Pink sky at morning,

Sailors take warning.

Pink sky at night,

Sailors' delight!


Wishing each of you pink skies tonight.

Thanks for joining me for Pink Saturday. Last week Teresa of Gardening with Soule was a new participant. Click here to check out her blog. She shares amazing photos. Then click here for more pinkness @ Beverly's How Sweet the Sound.

The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

  2. Sarah, Thanks so much for your kind words about my blog and photos. I really appreciate your warm welcome. I can't believe it but when I went to post this weeks Pink Saturday I almost chose the quote in your header before I visited you. Great minds think alike I guess. I am looking forward to reading your blog and visiting many of the others in Pink Saturday. You are all a great bunch of pink lovers that I am looking forward to getting to know. Thanks again! PS I am adding you to my blog roll if that is ok with you.

  3. It is funny that you posted this because everytime I see a pink sky...morning or night...that is the first thing that comes to mind and I always recite that verse!!

  5. Beautiful scene, Sarah! Funny, how I grew up, learning it as "Red sky in the morning....." LOL Must be a regional thing.
    I wish I would have thought to link my pink flower photos to Beverly's Pink Sat. meme. I don't seem to think ahead each week to let her know. Wish she did Mr. Linky instead. :( Now I'm too late. Oh well....enjoying your photos this morning.

    fondly,

  9. Hi Sarah! What a pleasure stopping in here. I have been looking for something to read and your recommendation sounds like just the book(s) I would enjoy.

    Your tablescape is striking. I love the black and white check and you always use it so well. It is beautifully presented.

    Finally, what a gorgeous sky! Happy Pink Saturday.

  12. Sarah, this is one of my favorite sayings... particularly living near the water, I'm always on the lookout for night skies that glow pink and red!

    Hope you also have a weekend that finds you "in the pink"!

    Happy Pink Saturday to you...

    XO,

    Sheila :-)
