I was looking out the front door the other day after a rain and noticed how my plants and critters on the front porch were looking nice in the right light so I grabbed my camera. This first shot is from inside the front door.
I planted these petunias less than two weeks ago since I was terribly late planting this year. Mr. Savvy brought this old pot around from the back yard. It has aged well outside over the last few years.
This is the best dog ever. He never barks, never begs and doesn't have to be walked.
I picked this little vintage kitty up last year for $3 at a flea market. I love the patina and wear.
I sure hope these plants survive.
Mr. Bunny was out in the plant bed, but I decided to place him on the porch.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend and Happy Father's Day
Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteWow! The patina on the flowerpot and the rusty texture on the iron planter are charming! How come my black wrought iron bistro set hasn't aged that well? The pretty petals complete the picture!

Thanks for sharing your pretty plants/flowers. Looks like your petunia is doing much better than mine. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteAll your flowers and pots look wonderful Kim. Love your sweet dog and cat.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope your bunny dosn't eat your fern!:)
ReplyDeleteLove that fern Gorgeous Huga, Marty
ReplyDeleteLoving all the plants and critters. The rain we had the other night sure did help!! Just glad the nasty stuff missed us. Love how you wrapped the fern in the burlap. And yes, love dogs like that as well ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour front porch looks great Kim. It reminds me that I have a couple of concrete bunnies that I could put on mine. For some reason it never occurred to me to move them outside. That's what I love about visiting other blogs. Getting new ideas. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Luvly plants and critters :-). Such a sweet little kitty...
ReplyDeleteI think my lawn critters got placed on the curb (accidentally ) with the trash this year. I cannot find them. I am sad.
Happy Weekend!
Hugs, Gee
What beautiful flowers! I love ferns and I don't have a single one in my garden.I have some big changes coming to my yard soon.I am hoping to incorporate some ferns :-)
ReplyDeleteThat kitten statue has the perfect chippy patina <3

Your front porch looks very welcoming, Kim. Cute critters!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the planter you're using for your fren! My flowers are doing amazingly well, with plentyr of rain and milder temps. I have a couple of planters by the garage doors, and they look the best! I think they're getting just the right amount of sun and shade - they're just flourishing. Very rewarding for this black thumbed girl! :-)
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE the pit that the petunias are in!! Gorgeous. Love Mr. Bunny too, I have a love of bunnies too:) XO, Pinky
ReplyDeleteUn bien charmant moment que celui que je viens de passer en pénétrant dans votre monde... Des photos sublimes.
ReplyDeleteGros bisous à vous et bonne fête à tous les papas.
So lovely, Kim! I'm late planting too. I've had flowers to pot for a month but finally got them in last night! I love your "old" pot, and your flagstone porch is beautiful. Kimberly Queens are my favorite go-to summer plant, and I like how you wrapped the pot in burlap. I have some burlap bags too, now I know another way to use them!
ReplyDeleteJust love critters and plants on the front porch...I especially love the metal urn...love the patina on it!! Beautiful porch Kim!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Kim! Your Petunias are lovely! I also love your critters; I'm a critter girl too!
ReplyDeleteLoving your lop-eared bunny wabbit. He's soooo cute!
ReplyDeleteKim, you plants inspire me. I am so excited to be on our new farm, and all of my pots are full a gathered on our hunting cabin porch awaiting the completion of our log cabin home. It is funny how simple things like pots of plants can fill you with feelings for "home". Thanks for sharing.
