Another Gardening Day!

Today is perfect! About 75 degrees. So, after a few morning appointments, I am off to the garden. Here are more inspiring pictures I found at House & Home

 

The Pea Gravel path is perfect

 

Shade Gardening can be very difficult, this is so well done

 All the variations of green add so much interest

This makes me miss the U.K.

Enjoy your weekend!

Crowned Planter

Last month, I posted this photo

My Homegoods find. My inspiration was French Blue in the Garden. Here is the "after"

 

I placed the support in the center of my urn so that I could grow a flowering vine. It also has that pop of blue that I was looking for. 

  Variegated iris, trailing petunias, and pink trumpet vine.

This is the tall structure. I still need to find a place for the shorter one.

The clouds have parted, the sun is out.....and I will be too! After I post a few reminders to myself. Here are some beautiful images that will give me inspiration

Supermarket Flowers

I decided to start the week off with some beautiful roses. I got them at the supermarket. The weather is gloomy and rainy. I can't go out and garden, so I'm working inside.

Remember to do something nice for yourself today!

Happy Monday

Charity Garage Sale

It's charity garage sale time! A few weeks ago, I posted about Spring Cleaning for a Cause. I have spent several days over the last two weeks, along with my friend Lisa, pricing many of the donated items......and now it is Garage Sale Time!

2011 Yard Sale                                                      Saturday, May 21st                             Sunday, May 22nd                                   10am-5pm                            45 Florence Street                         Joan's StoryJoan was delivering two boxes of Girl Scout cookies to a neighbor who lived across the street, three houses down from her house. The neighbor, a Tappan Zee high school chemistry teacher, Joseph McGowan raped and murdered her. This happened on April 19, 1973. McGowan became eligible for parole for a third time in January 2009 and was denied on December 8, 2008. Today on June 11, 2009 the parole board released its decision that McGowan's next parole eligibility will not be for 30 years, which amounts to about 18 years after deductions. This decision comes after Joan's mother Rosemarie led a continuous nine-month effort to publicize the danger to the public that the release of McGowan would cause along with a grassroots movement of concerned citizens that grew to support this effort. Over 80,000 personal signatures and 7,000 letters were collected. McGowan now has 180 days to decide if he will appeal the decision of the parole board, which he did the previous time his parole was denied.
