Happy Planting!

What a fun weekend. Saturday morning we had The Bean and Sissy for a few hours so took them to Lowes so I could buy a few plants for the deck.  We strapped them into a double wide cart and gave them a juice box and away we went.  They were so good.

 
I ended up buying some portulaca to put along one of the beds by the pool, a few trailing plants for my two window boxes out front, two already planted bowls for my hanging baskets on the porch and a few plants for the deck.  Oh and a new water lily for my mini pond that seems to have sprung a leak!  That's a project for another day as I need to dig that container out and put in a new one, which I still need to buy.

In the late afternoon Hubby and I went to a 50th wedding anniversary party for one of his uncle and aunts (actually they're my favourite uncle and aunt!).  We had a great time.  They'd put up a large tent in the back yard, had a DJ playing music the whole time and had plenty of food and drink.

Then this morning Hubby and I went to Home Depot and bought three tomato plants, a couple of pepper plants, some herbs and some soil.  I wasn't going to do any veggies but Hubby thought we should just put them in some planters on the deck.  So I spent most of the day outside planting and cleaning up.  What a great way to spend a Sunday!

I also went to the library this past week.  I haven't been for a while because once I start reading I can't stop and then nothing gets done!!  I rented the book that everyone is talking about - the life-changing magic of tidying up by Marie Kondo and checked out three other books - two are novels and the third is a book of dreams!  It's Country Living's Porches & Outdoor Spaces.  As I finish them I'll write a brief review.

Here are the photo-a day pix for the week - it's definitely a mish mash of photos!

 

 The first pic is the new Mini Frappacino from Starbucks.  Next is an oversized badminton set for the pool.  Sweet Lucy with her bone out back.  The Queen on my locker at work with the addition of the American flag!  Some orange blossom on an Azalea or deciduous Rhododendron out front and the last two are my plants from Lowes and Home Depot!!

Hope your weekend was a good one.  Until next time...
