Wow... greatest of intentions. I was going to paint all day. WAS. Instead we moved some front porch furniture, mainly my porch swing, and created a planting bench. I was going to say it was a do-nothing day... but playing in my garden was something!
Originally, I bought this metal rack to display quilts at quilt shows... now it's 're-purposed' and works great as a garden bench.
Some of the succulents I potted....
A "Chinese Bell" potted today...
Does our porch look too gaudy? It's my favorite room of the house!
I love the moss growing on our bricks..
My cottage garden has grown wild.... I love it!
We had to put a little fence around my Quan Yin garden.... Molly and Lulu loved to wrestle there! Everything will come back though, just not the pups!
I don't remember ever planting this. I think it's called a Dollar Plant?
So, it really has been a relaxing, art-filled day! Nature's art.
Sweet Blessings

I love your porch, Chris. It looks like a great place to just sit and watch the world go by!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to be surrounded by nature. I've never seen a dollar plant - how unique. Your favorite room of your cottage looks so inviting.
ReplyDeleteI love your little cottage...so warm and inviting. I just wanna sit on your porch and visit.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the idea of a porch! It is such a beautiful place to enjoy life outside.
ReplyDeleteBut we don't have enough sun and light over here in the Netherlands to have one.
I think that the Dollar Plant is called here in the Netherlands 'Judas Penning' something like Judas' shilling.
