Oh, yeah!

I forgot to mention in my last post that we did some shopping today. We have been here a little over 3 weeks, and we expect to be here about another three months, so we decided it was high time we dolled up our patio to make it a little more attractive. Jill bought a double shepherd's crook plant stand last week, and we thought we would hang a couple of pots of flowers on it. Then yesterday, she was shopping at Rite Aid and found out they had left over red, white and blue color bowls for sale for $5.99.

Today we went to Dallas to see the house progress (see previous post), and we stopped and bought a couple of the pots of flowers. We also tried Wally World, but their plants were way too expensive. Imagine, Wally World with prices that can't compete. On the way back home, we stopped at Bi-Mart and picked up a hanging ivy geranium and a hanging something else that I don't recognize. I also got a drip watering system with timer that I can hook up to the faucet and keep things nice and moist.

Our little retreat.

I put out our patio rug, and now we have a nice retreat in the out of doors. Unfortunately, the shepherd's crook was not stout enough to support the two hanging baskets, so we are planning to pick up a couple of bird feeders to hang there. In the meantime, we have some color on the patio.

The prettiest flower of all!
