Rainy Days!

Rain, Rain, Rain!

Normally the rain makes me happy, but we are planning on moving Mom on Saturday and it's suppose to RAIN!

ugh! 

My indoor plants are looking good!

Blooming!

Hung this on a crook outside my front window.  So pretty and I love seeing it from inside.  Hummingbirds have visited also.

My friend and neighbor Donna, bought me a knock out Rose and even planted it for me! 

Now THAT is a friend!

She has a beautiful garden and I'd show you some photos, but it's raining!

I found this pretty McCoy vase on Ebay and no one bid on it but me!  I got it for $10 including postage.

WOW!

I have this same vase in green, but love this soft peachy/pink.  

My little Welcome bird says Hi!

Mr. Toes is setteling in nicely.  Carter came to visit for a few days while the hardwood floors were being redone at his house.  It was a great visit.

The Grands are doing well, but lots of colds this spring.  We are in the last days of school and ready for summer break!

I'm waiting for the installer for Direct TV

I'm giving satellite a chance! 

Keeping my internet as is.

Hoping it all goes well.

Yep, it's still raining!

Wishing you JOY,

Linda

Everything is coming up Roses...

I wanted to share my gardens with you today.

In truth, most of these flowers are my neighbors.

My duplex neighbor and then the next duplex over where my friend Donna lives.

Here are some Roses!  

A sweet rosebud!

I love roses, they are my birth month (June) flower

Not sure what these are but they are gorgeous!

Pink Hibiscus, so pretty!

All of these are my duplex neighbors and I see them when I come out my front door.

Now to Donna's garden!

Donna has made a gorgeous garden this year in front of her duplex!  With a little patio area to sit and chat in the evenings.

Bright Yellow

and Hot Pink Gerber Daisy's

So many pinks

She has amazing hanging baskets and Hummingbird feeders.

I am lucky to be able to enjoy this garden with my friend!

Now to my few little flowers!  I am hoping to add additional plants, but it's a process for me!

I planted a few flowers in containers so I could see them from my front window

I see my garden hose made the photo op! 

A little birdie hides in there waiting for some flowers to bloom!

I bought these on clearance at Lowe's and they seem to be doing well.  I will buy more soon and my neighbor will help me plant them in the front planting bed.  He removed some dead boxwoods from there for me.  

I love this bird bath with the dragonfly.  I try to add water to it everyday when I water my plants.

This stump is outside my front door and I love the Hen and Chicks in this planter!  They can take the heat of a Georgia summer for sure.

So that's my garden and boy am I lucky to have neighbors who love plants! 

I'm sharing this at Alphabe-Thur and the letter E for Everything! 

Wishing you JOY, 

Linda

MY FIRST SPRAY PAINT MAKEOVER

Yes, this is my first spray paint make over.  I found this metal stand at a yard sale last summer

The lady told me it was painted black but she painted it gold...

I wish she hadn't!

But it had good bones and for $3 I decided I would repaint it

But what color? 

I chose Pistachio

I have read everyone's comments about spray painting so 

I just went for it

Not bad!

The color looks great on my weathered deck

I'm sure it will be moved around to find the perfect location and then plants added.  I am really happy with the color.

This will not be my last spray painting makeover.  It was easy and fun! 

I'm joining two parties today

Linda for Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays

& 

Stephanie for her fun 

Krylon Kapers Party

Here

This party is open all week so go over and share your spray paint makeovers!

Hugs,

Linda
