Happiness is....

Love planting flowers... I will plant them in anything...  I usually mix 3 flowers combinations in each planter.. 


impatiens, hosta, geraniums


I seem to be posting many pictures of the garden lately.. I love to dig in the dirt, it is therapy for my soul, and happiness for my heart!  Thank you for stopping by ... come anytime and have a glass of sweet tea with me!! 
Hugs-

  2. I love your washtub planters. What do you have those elevated in? It looks like it might be a vintage trash can rack. Looks great!!!!

  5. Will those hostas winter-over in the washtubs? Or will you have to plant new ones next year? Lovely combination of colors!

  10. What a sweet garden! I love the double tubs--I, too, planted hostas as a focal point in a planter (do it every year) then transplant to ground in fall. Lovely inspiration from your pictures!

  17. Hi Valarie,
    How I would love to come by for a glass of sweet tea in your lovely garden! It is so pretty, I adore those wash tubs full of flowers!
    I recently found an old square wash tub in the garbage, needless to say, it came home with me real fast! I haven't decided what I will do with it yet.
    Hugs, Cindy
