These are the urns on our front porch. Why do I show you??? Because it was the best group of plants I have ever bought!!! I spent only $4 an urn!!! I have three different types of plants I bought and added the trailing vine thing. I wintered the vine over because I found out last year that it was a perennial here. So why throw it out and buy it again next year. It really spreads if you do not get to your gardening in the spring.



This is a Sweet Autumn Clematis vine. I used to have it's brother on the other pillar and they would meet in the middle up on top. a chipmunk got to it's roots. This vine gets petite hite flowers on it in the fall. It is very unrully and this may be it's last year. I do not think I can even give it away! (I think this is the vine that Jack climbed up to find the golden egg...hummm maybe I better keep it!

This is the lonely urn in the front bed...which I have not gotten to YET! The ground has to be re-graded. The Hubby is not looking forward to this because of the ground cover which will be going back in. I a have come to see also that he does not like the whole plan. Thus he is dragging his feet... I am going for a European, clean front bed, kind of. A little bit French maybe. It will work out because it just gives me more time to get the plan right (perfect) .

Oh Yea. this uen cost a very pretty penny...I mean the plants! Outrageous! I am trying to be smart about my plant buying and lower that budget amount. Spring comes and I go crazy. I did very well this year except for these plants and the pedastal the urn sits on.
So... I am so grateful for :
This home, traditional on the outside and filled with fun, light, and an open plan on the inside
great deals on plants
pets and their unconditional love
getting to see family and friends
sharing a meal
Appreciating Gods presence more
Have a beautiful weekend! I may be back tomorrow.
