Pink Flamingo Watercolor
Yesterday, I was flamingoed! Yes, it’s true! Kana Tyler over at Kana’s Notebook flamingoed me! Here is her flamingo.
When Kana started blogging, she thought her audience would be only her husband, mom and dad. When she discovered the joy of community that comes with blogging, she wanted to thank some of us by flamingoing us. Read her post here and all of this will make more sense. I have been enjoying Kana’s blog very much, as I do all of you in my blog roll. I don’t get around to comment as often as I like lately, but I very much appreciate my blog community.
So, consider yourselves flamingoed, too!
Don’t forget that Friday is the day to post your Halloween Challenge post, be it a painting, a drawing, a poem, or whatever makes you happy. Post on your blog and come back here and give us a link, so we can go see your post. I can’t wait to see what you do!

Marian Wright Edelman (born June 6, 1939) is an American activist for the rights of children. She is president and founder of the Children’s Defense Fund.
