To get to Myrtle Beach, SC from Roanoke, VA we had to drive through a lot of small towns. I started seeing pink trashcans, but they were in people's yards. Well, yeah, of course they were.
Finally we came to one on the edge of a street where hubby could stop so I could jump out of the car and snap a quick picture.
Do these homeowners - and all the others - read Pinkalicious? Are they fans of the color pink like many of you?
I bet you already knew why the trashcans were painted pink. See that ribbon. It's the ubiquitous symbol for breast cancer awareness.
While at the beach, I read an article in Woman's Day. One of its points:
Just 30 minutes of exercise five days a week can cut your breast cancer risk by nearly 20%.
Now I have another reason I should be exercising. How about you?

I just started an exercise program.....thanks for the incentive!
What a cool pink! I have never seen a pink trash can.
Wow that is cool. The other day I saw a huge truck that was paving a road with a magnetic breast cancer sign on it. I thought that was just the neates thing.
All those manly construction workers promoting the ta tas.
These peeps have really done a great job with pink and breast cancer awareness ... over the years it has spread and now we know what it is about. I didn't know that about exercise. I really do need to start doing that, even walking would be a great idea.
Happy Sunday,

Very cool! My aunt was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I've always been a supporter and worn pink ribbons during Oct but it has taken on a whole new meaning now.
Hi Grammy. I loved all the train trip pictures. The pink trash cans are very pretty too!
Yes, me too...I am starting a boot camp again very soon. You live in Roanoke? We went up there last Fall and had a fabulous time. I have a post on my blog somewhere about it.
Why don't I own a pink trash can?!
What a great fundraising idea. If you want a pink trash can, you pay a little extra fee for it and the money goes to the cause. Neat!
I love this pink bin. Does house work and walking to and fro in the house count as exercising ? Five days a week sounds daunting.

That's one place I wouldn't mind something big and pink! Love it!
You're very right - a pink ribbon on a fountain doesn't compare to a pink trashcan! What a statement they make, thanks for sharing!
