Flowers

Okay. I am the first to admit that i am not a Gardner. I do not have a green thumb. But while working on the electrical stuff this weekend i got a little bored/frustrated. That and Josh was gone for 4 days and that always seems to be the best time to start numerous projects. Simply because no one is here to stop me or say i should wait. Or to say that we should only do one project at a time-even though i know that's true.
But while taking a little break from wiring i went out onto our deck to enjoy the warm, beautiful weather we were having. I looked down and immediately thought, i can do better. So i grabbed the boys and we went to Viola's, our local nursery.
Um . . . i got a little carried away i guess? Though i am going to go back next week and grab some annuals for more color. Almost everything i bought will bloom-or is about to bloom. Even the pansy's are perennials. The cedar chips smell so nice and added the perfect finishing touch, well, the scalloped border also helped.
What can i say, i use to work at a floral store. Naturally i wanted flowers at my own home! Now i'm just excited to see what it will look like in a month when everything really starts to grow and spread. And who knows, maybe very soon i'll do another one of our flower beds. For really having no experience i thought i did pretty good. Oh, and Josh said he really likes it-though he thinks i should probably stop watching HGTV and reading Better Homes and Gardens for a little while. I can't help myself!
