Yesterday was absolutely beautiful – and warm. I spent some time potting flowers and then realized I need to buy another big bag of potting soil. I always underestimate how much I need. In the middle of it all, we took off for the grocery store, picked up our order, drove back home and did all the necessary stuff to bring it in the house. More work on the porch and then inside because my allergies were flaring up.
Oh, but it feels good to be back on the porch, making it pretty. And to see the hostas and coneflowers and day lilies coming up from the ground, getting taller every day. Don is in the midst of a clean up project on the property and is enjoying working outside.
Some lobelia – I used it last year in this pot and I really love the purple and white inside this textured Italian pot.
I’ve potted some of the impatiens, including in the hanging pots. I’ve added plants to the antique English and French pots that I use in the Secret Garden. I’ll get some photos of those soon. Today, I’ll finish with the impatiens that I have on hand and will put the gardenias in the barrels by the Funky Patio. That is, if the potting soil holds out. Probably one more trip to the nursery is on the docket for tomorrow morning.
I’m also working on the other Nancy Drew puzzle. While I wait for the coffee to brew in the morning, I walk over to the kitchen table and add a few more pieces here and there. And then I work on it again in the late afternoon. Another puzzle arrived in yesterday’s mail; “Peonies” by a Japanese artist.
We’re sure enjoying this beautiful weekend. I hope you are, too.
Stay safe.
Happy Sunday.
