*****Next week Blue Monday will celebrate its 5th Blogiversary! That's right. On the first Monday in September, 2008, I began Blue Monday. It's been going ever since!

I plan to celebrate with
balloons, cake,  and flowers--all blue, of course! Perhaps you'll be able to think of something blue and join in for the fifth Blogiversary. *****

Continuing from last week, here's my granddaughter, Ara, and her friend Macey in front of Ca'D'Zan (House of John), the winter home of John and Mable Ringling in Sarasota, Florida.



Notice the different shades of Blue on the windows?



Here's Macey and my granddaughter, Ara in front of those unique Blue windows.



The view from John Ringling's bedroom. There are four different colored windows, each represent a color from the interior. From here you can see a piece of the patio and the Blue sky and Blue bay. Can you imagine waking to this view each morning?



The view from back patio, looking toward the back of the house mansion. Oh, those windows!

The ballroom ceiling of Ca'D'Zan shows these dancers one painted in each of the four corners. Souvenir coasters are available for purchase.



Happy Blue Monday!
