Puttering And Potting


It was a beautiful weekend!
 I took a break from the college-kid-stuff-storage-chaos-mayhem
going on inside my house,
(how do they accumulate so much stuff?)
and puttered around outside, potting up herbs and annuals.

  4. Your pots look sensational!!! Thank you so much for stopping by today - I hope you try the Strawberry Bread - it really is so scrumptious! I think you can leave out the cinnamon without any problems - you could try vanilla as well with the almond extract.
    Have a wonderful day!

  5. Your collage is not just lovely, it's inspiring. If only I knew someone I could show it to who might get inspired to go fix up my garden!

  6. What a pretty mosaic. Your containers all look so nice, but I'm especially drawn to the large tea cup.
    I have a garage and bonus room full of college kid stuff. It does seem to multiply quickly.

  9. What a pretty mosaic! You have been very busy.
    The accumulation of kids' stuff? I've been there and done that. When my son married I packed up the last of it and shipped it to him - it was worth it! Our daughter just moved into her own place and took most of her stuff with her - Alleluia!! Graduation is three weeks away, and I have a clean spare room!

  11. A nice break from the mundane chores Gayle.

    It's so nice having pots of colour around the garden.

    Hope the chaos and mayhem sorts itself out quickly......

  14. Such a lovely collection of pots for your herbs and plants. Beautiful collage too. We are so behind on gardening this year. I spent Saturday weeding flower beds but we have so much more to do. Have a splendid week ahead.

  15. I have two coming home from college next weekend. We cleaned out the garage so the boxes could be stored there until they are emptied and put away! Gardening is a good way to take a break! Linda

  24. Doesn't that make you feel god to get a job like that done and be outside immersed in the fresh air and dirt instead of coping with family mayhem.
