It's Almost Time!

O.k. the deck has been painted and I have finally filled my poor empty pots with some color. Just standing inside the house and seeing color added back out there makes me happy. With that wall of windows in my great room you can see the deck clearly from inside so the flowers sure do help. I am still not done sprucing up for the  party on June 22, but I am getting there. I can't believe it is almost time.

This is the sad shape the deck was in. All painted now and you will see it soon. Now lets look at the flowers I just planted. I am so late filling these pots this year.

Since the colors inside are mostly greens, reds, yellows, and white that is what I filled the pots with to carry the color inside to the outside and vice versa.

I told the guy at the nursery that I needed plants that can stand the heat. Extreme heat. Already don't remember the name of this one since I threw the tag away.

I used petunias in red and white, marigolds, and red vinca.

Love this hanging basket. This nursery's prices were probably half of Home Depot or Lowes.

This is portaluca that is just starting to open up in the  morning when I was taking pictures. They close up each night.

My copper watering can will get plenty of use.

I still have so much to do

 chairs to paint, refreshments to prepare,

and UNWANTED GUESTS to get rid of!!

Wouldn't want any of you to get stung!

So a few more things to get done before the big summer blockg party.

Hope you will join us.

This party will be in place of the Wow us Wednesdays party next week and there will be a chance to win prizes for those who link up.

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
