a little libation

after my day of traffic sitting, plant shopping, Kentucky Derby crying (it's always very emotional for me), and container planting, I deserved a nice cool beverage out on the veranda (well, the concrete slab)...

happy pansy faces

i couldn't stand it anymore...seeing sunny daffodils and happy pansy faces all over the place...I had to have some of my own. so finally broke down and bought just enough plants to fill two containers. my normal tendency is to buy WAY more plants than I EVER get around to planting, and I'm trying VERY hard in this smaller space to control that. the little yard is way too small to allow to get messy and cluttered.

anyway. here is before and after of this morning... (click on images for more detail)
