I know, I know. You can't believe what you're seeing. But that's me, and yes, I was potting plants. I inherited some beautiful pots when Granny passed away, and I love them. It's been a crazy week, and the weekend is going to be even crazier. So in order to calm down and have some relaxation time to myself, I thought I would make some fall arrangements. This is going to be addictive. I can tell.
A few months ago, a group of girlfriends (
SWRL Scouts) went to
Calloway's Nursery and learned about potting plants. We each did our own, and took it home with us. Mine is now dead, but I thought I would give my green thumb another chance. With Stephen, Layne and I at the house, there is
definitely a sense of
permanence in my life. And these should last until Thanksgiving time- when it's time to whip out the
poinsettia's.
Do you see the mini pumpkins I threw in for some seasonal flair? I know you must be proud of me Mrs. Carmen! The mums are just starting to show color, and there are even little mini peppers in there to give it a little Texas twist. And for those of you from
NoLa who remember Granny and Grandpa's garden- can you make out our little friend sitting out on the edge?
I brought a CD player outside and had some relaxing Zen music on in the background. And I enjoyed myself so much, I didn't even mind the clean up that was necessary after. (I tore the patio apart!) It made for a great afternoon activity, and the weather was perfect. Cool, with a slight breeze... I love the fall!
