Sure it snowed on May 1st but after two consecutive days of temps in the 70’s, officially declared it Spring in Colorado.
Ok, ok AND I was peer-pressured by my neighbor Debbie 🙂
So, you should stay home some weekend and work on your patio.
I’m working on winning ‘best patio on Snowberry Lane’ this summer.
Sure…seems friendly enough – but I could read her subtle subtext. It’s obvious, right? Competition is on!
Headed out early a.m. with Stephen (who was not flying out until later that afternoon) – destination: Home Depot.
Goal was to buy something that would survive our perpetual sunshiny days. How many times did I plant & re-plant black-eyed Susans last year? Ugh. This year I decided on tomatoes (in addition to flowers). If you’re gonna dream, dream BIG.
The plan was to transform my front patio & then of course inspire/razz my neighbor.
Unfortunately I got caught in the act…sooooo my evil master plan unraveled rather quickly.
Nicely done! I’m impressed Sorry I spoiled the surprise. It was pretty funny!
If our tomatoes take off, we can open our own little Snowberry Lane farmers market this summer and make some big $$$.
Not just me. Passive aggressive, right? HAHA!!
Have to admit I lucked out with neighbors. A-ok with my lock on 2nd place 🙂
tomatoes & roses
snapdragons
geraniums
coreopsis (tickseed)
Even the best of us high-energy folks keep items on our ‘to do’ list far too long. For me, my hated ‘to do’s’ include: dusting, ironing, scrubbing the shower (& shower door), scrubbing toilets…and hanging pictures.
After changing 7 – yes 7 – light bulbs (another procrastication), I finally hung 2 new pieces of art received for my baptism (August 11th) & birthday (August 21st). Thanks again to my friend Dawn and girls, Ash & Michaela.
LOVE LOVE LOVE seeing these on my walls!
