I’m going to be lazy today and just post some blooms and plants without too many comments.
We finally got the rain we were waiting for
and it has cooled off a bit,
so rather than sit here and do a lot of writing,
I’m going to go out and enjoy the rest of the day….

| Trailing Vinca on the front porch ~ pre-potted for me but my favorite! |
Every year, I like to experiment with plant combinations in pots and tubs.
It’s fun throwing colors and textures together and then waiting to see how they grow.
Some turn out some don’t, but I enjoy the experience non-the-less.

| Hens & Chicks and Blue Spruce Sedum |

and finally an update of the White & Fuzzy Tub….
 |
| The washtub is almost hidden from view & the snow in summer is starting to trail the ground and the Yarrow is now completely hidden… |
 |
| Oh, no wait…. Here it is…. Maybe next year it will flower. |

| I’m really pleased with how this is turning out! The only thing I’m disappointed with is that the Yarrow in the back isn’t keeping up like I hoped. |
