White Wednesday Time!

thought I would share a couple things outside today...
the first is white wicker...
a white wicker chair with a bad seat...
perfect for a pot of hot pink flowers...
in between a couple of vintage ice cream chairs that I use for tomato cages...
and some new white petunias I picked up today...
one of my buddies thought I need some white...
and she was right...
Happy White Wednesday!

yesterday's leftovers...

the afternoon started out great...
with big puffy clouds and sunshine...
and we walked around and watered...
and I was a little under the weather yesterday...
so this was all I felt like doing...
I went to bed really early for me last night...
8:30!
and I slept all night long!
well, until 4am...
I missed my dose of medicine...
so I am not sick this morning...
so I'm trying to get some things done real quick before I take it again...
then it will be me and the clicker on the couch...
I hope there is something good on HGTV today...
this was the last shot I got before the clouds turned gray...
and it got dark...
the winds picked up and there was a lot of thunder...
and Robbie and I waited for the rain...
but it didn't happen...
so Craig and I have already watered this morning...
and I have had my walk...
scrambled eggs down...
need to do a quick trip to the store...
and probably stop in and see Kyle this morning...
have a flat to take in...
more soap to make it smell good and 3 more arrangements...
some more figurines...
and then maybe a nap...
or another walk...
we had 82 here yesterday and today should hit 80...
not bad...
have a great day and check the last post for more images...

Decoration Day images...

for you to use this weekend...
and so we never forget...

Happy Monday Morning to you all!

I love morning light...
had to do some trimming on this tree so I could sit down out here...
but it makes good shade until the new deck is built...
and the rose moss loves the sun...
light and shadows in the early morning make me :)...
my knock out roses are just beginning to take off...
and we missed all the rain last night!
so the hose is staying out until we get some...
got up sick again this morning...
just like Saturday!
yesterday was a pretty good day...
I am so bored right now...
waiting for Craig to get back from Chucktown...
he called and had trouble with the bank on cashing a check...
we had this straightened out over a year ago so he could do the banking...
it's time to change banks...
they used to have a branch here in town for years and closed it almost 2 years ago and it's just a pain in the butt to deal with the main branch...
we could bank 8 miles north or 8 miles south and it would be easier...
oh well, so much for friendly service...
I had planning on going with him this morning...
but we did the post office first and I still was queasy...
so I had him drop me back off at home and go without me...
didn't think there would be a problem...
he writes checks on our account all the time...
we did all the paperwork to get him on our account...
now the bank can't find it...
really?
in a small town...
things are different...
and I know so much has changed since 9-11...
we had to take our photo ids in the bank and have them copy them...
even in the Post Office...
these people know us, our kids...
when we fart...
literally...
there are so many blooms on the columbine this year...
still waiting on the peonies...
but they are supposed to be ready for Decoration Day...
I think they will make it...
my grandma used to call iris flags...
do you remember that?
oh, the best place to be in the evenings...
the ferns are great...
but it won't be long now that the japanese beetles will come out...
if you look real hard you can see the corn coming up in the field behind us...
we are going to have to move 1/3 of the ferns when the deck goes in...
sorry about the rant of my crazy bank...
it's just some days you would like to take a water gun in and soak them all!
I wonder how many of you would come and get me out of jail???
LOL
I think my guys would leave me in there for a few days so they could have a mini vacation and to make sure I learned my lesson...
hmmm...
it might be worth it just for the headlines...
FOX news might even pick it up...
I could be famous...
