Warm days ahead

Wow, it was so beautiful today! Last Saturday it was cold, rainy and even snowed a little, but today is amazing. I spent 60$ at Home Depot for flowers and herbs today. David gave me two big, big flower pots for Valentine's day. They've been sitting on the front porch waiting patiently for warm weather and fresh flowers.

I found two gorgeous canna lilies; they are maroon on the inside, and slowly turn golden up the flower. I added lemon colored petunias, dark red petunias, blue allysum and some white trailing plants in both big pots. There is a smaller big pot too, and I put a basil plant in the middle, some onion chives flowing over one side, a lemon petunia and several blue allysum. I'll have to take some pics. They look really pretty!

David was super busy, he rototilled the rest of the garden, did some weed-eating in the front, ran the lawn mower, helped me hang up a couple of the topsy-turvy hangers- one with strawberries, the other with a tomato plant. Then he moved some of his antique farm equipment in front of the house for decoration, hung a cool name plate with our address on the front too, plus some metal butterfly decorations. It's looking pretty spiffy out front!

I planted some tomatoes in the garden, but pooped out before I got the peppers in the ground. Hopefully I can do them on Monday, along with some lettuce, beans etc. All in all, it was a great Saturday. Sure hope I have the energy to make it to church tomorrow...
