Blessings in a Bucket

After 17 years of living in our house, we have finally gotten around to doing some landscaping in our backyard.  It took us a long time to figure out what we wanted to do, but now it's kind of fun to have some trees and plants out there. . . and to see which ones we can actually keep living and growing!

This weekend, I decided I needed some "containers with character" that I could fill with flowers to add some interest and color.   My dear friend has a store here in Fallon called "Blessings in a Bucket".  Besides loving the name of the shop, I just had a hunch that she would have the sort of treasures I was looking for . . . and I was not disappointed.   I think this is going to be my on-going summer project. . . . collecting containers and planting flowers! 

I also found a RED table . . . which reminded me of Sara.  It makes a perfect addition to our back porch "chair time"!
