had fun with flowers Monday morning…
picked up the bouquet on December 29th when we were out grocery shopping;-)…
as there were already flowers in the living room, the bouquet went into the den…
the living room flowers were done, so I rearranged the newer flowers into three little vases…
playing with flowers makes me so happy;-)…

on Friday I rearranged the lawn furniture so there was a bit more space on the back deck…
on Saturday, I took the netting off the pond… it was doing a good job of collecting the leaves although the weight of them had it sinking into the water…
the fish weren’t moving around as much as usual, the birds weren’t drinking or bathing and I didn’t like the look of it…
next year when it goes down, I will put some thin boards over the top so that it doesn’t slip into the fishes’ domain…
now, the fish, the birds, and I are much happier, lol…

moved a few planters and a chair on the lower deck…
haven’t decided if I like it or not…
and then this morning I rearranged again… I put the dahlia by the door and moved the begonias and columbine to the back of the garden where they will get the necessary shade… I may end up moving that planter beside the rain barrel, but will need help to get it up there…
guess I will live with it for a while and see…

more time working on/in the garden…
changed tables in the living room window to make space to be able to put more of the deck planters in the sunlight… once they warm up, I am going to fill them with alyssum and morning glories…
kind of exciting… I also moved the big planter onto the front step and will put it back into the flower bed in a few days when the weather is warmer…
filled the other planters with datura and morning glories and planted a few additional tomatoes… I’ve moved the tomatoes onto the dining room window ledge…
it will be interesting to see what sprouts…

bought a bouquet on March 5th…
yesterday I tossed out some of the spent flowers and rearranged it…
amazing how long they have lasted and how good they still look…
on Friday I picked up this orchid…
left it in the plastic over the weekend to carry it to the office…
and here it is in its new home…
haven’t had an orchid for ages… they always remind me of my beloved… he brought them home for me all the time…
flowers sure do improve my days;-)…
