Zero Chance of Frost

Far be it from me

to ever brag about our weather again

I know I went on and on 

Friday

about how nice it was ~ that the sun was shining

and it was warm

well ~ by the time I left work Friday night

the temperature had dropped over 10 degrees

and the wind picked up

I ran to the car holding my sundress down

so I would not show the world

my bloomers

cold ~ cold ~ cold!!

It did warm up a bit on Saturday

but drizzle all day

so it was nice to wake up on Sunday

and see the sun

and the temps had risen substantially overnight

so what's a girl to do

plant some flowers I say

since the big guns say that there is no more chance of frost!

the neighbors flowering crab ~ love it!

 

So last summer I scooped up this washtub

which I told you about here

I knew from the start what I wanted to do with it

so with a little bit of soil

and an old chair back I scooped out of the 

neighbor's garbage during fall clean up

I planted some sweet peas

and some filler ~ I chose euphorbia

Stardust White Sparkle

and ta da

I cannot wait until it fills out and blooms

I had also picked up this little pot

and what better to plant in it

but a bunch of little faces!

I used my new handy dandy planter helper

I can see this baby will be on my favorite things list

the hole it leaves is the exact size for bedding plants

then you just pop it in and press the soil around it

genius I say!

so this cutie pie will get lots of love this summer

and who can resist pansies

I still have a few things I want to pick up

and if things actually dry up enough

there is some major weeding to be done

in my perennial beds

Hope you all had a wonderful week-end

and that my friends to the south are enjoying their 

holiday Monday

I am looking forward to this afternoon

as I am only working a part day today

as I am meeting up with an old friend

to share some time ~ some memories

and make some new ones

Have a great day!!
