Beautiful Planter Pots and Naps

Yesterday that magical ball of fire was out in the sky again, so I took advantage of the dry weather and got out into the yard.

It was a great day - I headed out to my parents house to drop off my mam's new plants and along the way stopped at a gal's home nursery and picked up a couple lovely plants for myself. I got 2 gorgeous peonies: a Duchess de Nemours (Fragrant Double White) and a Festiva Maxima (Fragrant White with Red Splash). I also got a dark black sedum: Postman's Pride and another black plant that gets tall and the leaves resemble the leaves on a phlox, but I can't remember the name. Oh, it's in the same family as creeping jenny, but is upright.

Anyway, after our little venture, Weezer and I came back to play in the yard. As you all know, Weezy is mama's little helper so hers helped me start creating a new shade garden bed near our firepit. We planted 3 hostas after we dug out all the weeds and moss. Then we planted our new peonies, relocated an astilbe and planted our brussel sprouts. But, the best part was finishing my pots out on our deck. They turned out just gorgeous!

Heuchera, black & green sweet potatoe vine, coleus & black cala lilies.

The cala lilies are just amazing, I could plant them everywhere and be a very happy little girl.

Needless to say, Weezer is a bit tuckered out today. All that running around, planting plants with mama and basking in the sun yesterday meant no naps! So, today, has been all about naps.

Good night everyone and here's to a wonderful Wednesday! Cheers!
