Summer Containers on the Porch and in the Garden

Hi Friends, I thought I'd share a quick post with some pics of my containers out back and on the front porch. These were taken a couple of weeks ago, so they are just barely blooming, not really filled out at all. This is my first time posting since I had the back surgery a week ago today. I had to have my husband help with all the "heavy lifting" to get these containers put together. He's not a gardening fan; I can barely wring enough sympathy out of him to water them while I've been "indisposed". He enjoys seeing how much color they add to the porch and the pretty blooms, he's just been trapped in an office for years, so his mind doesn't gravitate to extra stuff outdoors that might be considered work.

Hello to Summer at All About Home # 94

Hi Friends, Welcome to the All About Home Link Party. Thankyou for taking the time to come by and share what you're up to this week. I'll be taking a week or so off from the party because of back surgery this week. Last year I had cervical spine fusion... this year it's my lower back. Next week Amber will be on her lonesome, so be sure and link up with her at Follow the Yellow Brick Home. Thanks so much for your good thoughts and prayers. One more thing... Feedburner will be shutting down soon, so please sign up for email alerts on new posts if you haven't already. Sign up box is on the right sidebar. Thanks friends! Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Vintage Botanical Print in the Early Summer Entry

It had been since before Easter that I gave the Entry a seasonal freshen up. I wanted to make a few changes that would carry this area easily into Summer. I had my husband pull out the floral tubs last week, but then I decided to just keep the paperwhites here a bit longer. They're one of my favorite go-to faux flower looks. I had plenty of other arrangements to freshen up to move into Summer.
