The dogs and I spent the better part of this weekend at my parents house. Saturday, my mom and I went to buy our flowers for the planters this summer. We checked out a couple different greenhouses because everyone has something a little different. Of course I bought more flowers than I had pots for because I can never say no to flowers. Luckily, my mom loves flowers as much as I do and has collected several pots over the years, so I knew she would be willing to lend me a few to help me with my dilemma. I was up at 9:30 this morning planting flowers; I'm sure my neighbors think I'm nuts. I wanted to get things in pots before this open house this afternoon.
Of course, it turned out the pots will be for my own enjoyment only. I don't know if it was because today is Mother's Day or what the deal is/was, but there was not a single soul at the open house today. I had mixed feeling when I found that out. I have decided perhaps this is a sign that we are supposed to stay where we are for the time being. I think I go back and forth on this minute by minute throughout the day. One minute I think this house is too much work and not enough space and drives me crazy. The next minute I think there are so many things we can do to the house and it is fine for us right now. It is a constant battle with myself.
In my rush to get flowers planted this morning, I was able to get two of my potting projects done that I have been wanting to do. I thought I would share a couple of photos with you so you could check out the projects.
First, I thought I would share a photo of Maya making her bed in a flower pot at my parents house. This was after she paced around on their deck for a good 45 minutes.
This flower tower above is supposed to be straight stacked pots and not tilted, but I had an extra pot and there was too much of the metal rod sticking out the top, so I came up with an adjustment to the original plan. I think it turned out alright though. I can't wait until things start blooming!
Here is my herb tower I planted this week along with the watering can I picked up last weekend with flowers planted in it.
The rocking chair with a new cushion and the foot rest with new fabric on it. It is supposed to be warmer out this week, so perhaps I will get some use out of the chair this week!
Here is my flower tower out front with red white and blue flowers. Stop on over and see us and check out our flower tower!
I have a few more projects I worked on over the weekend, but I will post those later this week. Hope everyone has a good Monday. Monday's aren't my favorite day, but this one begins out countdown until Andrew is home. We will all be very happy to see him at the end of the week. Maya has been a little lost without him this past week.
