bought a few tree greens while at the grocery store…

dug out two birch branches, some small white twigs, and a stem of red berries from the shed…

went through a Christmas box and brought out some large ornaments…

last week I’d brought in the planter from the top step so it could thaw out so all the dead plants could be pulled out…

took the planter into the garden, removed all the dead plants and added in the greenery…

after everything was included, it was carried to the front steps…

added some solar lights…

looks good…

late in the fall my grandson brought in a few of the plants…

one was the mandevilla… it had grown long and through some of the bench on the deck so was very messy when it came into the house…

I ignored it until the other day… took the time to cut it back and feed it… looking forward to watching it over the next few months…

also trimmed and fed the hibiscus and Japanese maple…

I am sure they all appreciated the attention… we will see how they all do…

nice to have greenery in the house… makes it feel summery…

had a holiday celebration with my buddies today…

as I was waiting for my ride, went out and took a few pictures of the greenery and actually cut off the hangers from two of them… been meaning to do that for ages and used the new clippers I picked up yesterday…

we had a wonderful lunch at Cafe Dario… I had the Caribbean lobster tail grilled and smothered with compound butter… yum… others had the beef, duck and chicken… all were delicious…

it was busy and fairly loud but by the time we were finished eating it had emptied out and we traded gifts before heading to our various activities…

here’s the collection that I brought home…

sure am blessed with my friends and treats and special moments…

great fun tonight… quick trip to Shelmerdine to pick up greenery to make a planter for the front step…

here’s the designer and the container before she started work… then she spent an hour using her magic fingers…

and here’s the gorgeous result…

looking forward to taking a few shots on the front steps in the daylight…

as I was leaving the house this morning spotted this on the deck…

thinking that the squirrels were looking for a snack and pushed the alyssum, that was still blooming, off the deck… sad because I really liked that pot…

at noon I got this shot of the tree in City Place… quite lovely…

and tonight, this cute tree…

a lot of greenery in my day, lol…
