Happy Mother's Day


Happy Mother's Day to Everyone!

Hope all the moms out there are being treated like a Queen today.

We are going to a Mother's Day brunch, then celebrating my dad's birthday afterward, followed by a visit to my mother-in-law. A very busy day!

Each year I put together some potted flowers for my mom for her front porch. These colors look great with the color of her brick and are bright enough to show up as you are driving down the road. The second picture is of more flowers that I need to plant around our house, along with some lovely purple colored sage.

Happy Mother's Day to you!

Photo Tag Game

Okay, I've been tagged by KK with AllHorseStuff for a fun photo game. The idea is go to to your photos and choose the 6th folder and the 6th picture. Well, my 6th folder had to do with repairs to the roof, so that was not too exciting. Instead I went to my 7th folder, which is "Potted Plants." A little more aesthetic than roof repairs! My photo is of an arrangement I put together last spring for my mom. Each year she asks for potted flowers for Mother's Day and it's always fun to design something new. I just love spring! I have to pick out flowers that are annuals and that will hold up to our hot humid weather during the summer. The wave petunias always do well here. I like to put something tall and whispy in the middle. The flower colors are usually pinks, purples and whites, to compliment the colors of the brick on my parent's house. This was the day I put it together so it had room to grow and fill out during the spring and summer.

That's the story of my photo for this round of tag. Who is next?



The rules are:
1) Go to your picture folder, or wherever you store your photos on your computer
2) Go to the sixth folder and pick the sixth picture
3) Post it on your blog and tell the story that goes along with the picture
4) Tag five friends to do the same thing, and leave a message on their blog that they have been tagged~

I hereby TAG:

1. Jackie with GloryBeHerbals
2. Elayne with ChezChani
3. Devin with ExpressionsbyDevin
4. Carmen with Dented Halo
5. Corinne with DaydreamArtStudio
