Flowers

My mom is truly has an eye for landscape 'stuff' -- so I just let her make the decisions.  I hate to admit it -- but she really did make almost all of the calls as far as colors of flowers and where to put them.  Someone recently asked me if I have a green thumb.  I'm not sure yet, so we'll see!  In the meantime, here it is...

This is one of my favorite hostas -- I'd never seen this 'breed' before, the leaves are smaller than the typical hosta.

On to the backyard!

I think I should name him --- any ideas??

 I got four of these from a garage sale for $2 (what a steal!) -- it was funny because I had just gone up north with some friends and used these little things shaped like tulips to hold our drinks around the campfire.  We were talking about how handy they were, albeit corny (bright plastic tulips).  So when I saw these at a garage sale and ran up to the guy: "Are these outdoor drink holders!?" and he says, "Yes...I guess so, or candle holders?" Regardless of looking like a lush, I was ecstatic to find them. 

 Outdoor seating for friends! (Free chairs...)

Is YOUR backyard ready for the Fourth of July??

Bahahahaha!  Beth will love this picture :)  Told you I would spray paint it!
