March 30, I needed a flower fix so we headed for Lowe's...
and I loaded up my cart.
March 31st, 9:30 a.m. I headed out and planted all
the flowers in my 5 empty pots. Yellow Asiatic Lily
accompanied by a red Gerbera Daisy... to keep my woodpecker company.
Dianthus and Yellow Osteospermum...
One of my favorite flowers, the Hydrangea with
White Osteospermum...
Snapdragons and yellow Gerbera Daisy
and Dahlia with a Geranium. You may have also
noticed that one marigold is planted in each pot.
Now we don't have deer and bears here as we did in Colfax, CA
but we do have squirrels that dig up everything you plant
so they can chew on the roots (which kills the plant).
And you'll notice the rocks I placed in all pots and
in addition to that I sprayed around each pot with
Deer and Rabbit spray which last fall discouraged the squirrels!!!
I did all three preventive measures to all pots!!!
Then the "cocktail table" arrived so I quickly assembled it
and took it out back. where we have cocktails in the afternoon.
Of course it was selected to color coordinate with the mosaic
parrot wall hanging I made while in AZ and...
it's one piece of hand painted glass that looks like
lots of small pieces. The hummingbird was selected
not only because it' was color coordinated with the parrot,
but also because we have hummingbirds on the security
screen door we ordered for the back door.
Speaking of cocktails, it is Happy Hour, see you out back...
