she said what?, getting together, and open wide

1  I wear a lot of dark colours, black, brown and lots of white so today I'm a pink plaid tunic. But I must look a little country I guess because the woman siting next to me looks up and says, "You look adorable!" I should wear colour more often!
2 A friend from a few years ago when I worked at the hospital has moved to the area as well. We get together for a coffee and visit and it's great to know she's doing so well now. Very proud of where she's come from.
3 Tulips love to be wide open to the sun in this heat but quickly close up once a cool breeze arrives.
