We had somewhere to go Friday, Sat. and Sunday! This morning I had a breakfast to go to also! But, I am NOT complaining, I love being busy. It is just that my poor little blog suffers. But I thank you all for hanging in there with me!!! I thought I would show you how nicely the copper pot on the front porch is growing! This is how it started out:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpt-7Wk6lhmpDMEexecPoRlGkCaPCf1aHFwfRuwArN6iT21PCW2l8qrddCOhl_uX751sRdEvZH6Dh8BVwaHuH9v_nJWV_79B1n8QAgFiivTbZKP3PnBpwAVegvlxIIqZcshwxjcLe7N-pO/s1600/IMG_0098.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpt-7Wk6lhmpDMEexecPoRlGkCaPCf1aHFwfRuwArN6iT21PCW2l8qrddCOhl_uX751sRdEvZH6Dh8BVwaHuH9v_nJWV_79B1n8QAgFiivTbZKP3PnBpwAVegvlxIIqZcshwxjcLe7N-pO/s640/IMG_0098.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I planted 2 coleus, 1 caladium and an anthurium that was a house plant into the pot.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAC9Y_1MII2hes6V3-5BpVhhI9gv53RnRo8a9RNnmCmkeXKuRolcTWmUUZ4gxFPBTylqNf9J3gnjjg_AKqL_Bd8e3NVcwrE7JyN0H8kS0e0LsiyaBmhLQqzUReKARV29YZ2FH5nvwqSzkO/s1600/IMG_0100.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAC9Y_1MII2hes6V3-5BpVhhI9gv53RnRo8a9RNnmCmkeXKuRolcTWmUUZ4gxFPBTylqNf9J3gnjjg_AKqL_Bd8e3NVcwrE7JyN0H8kS0e0LsiyaBmhLQqzUReKARV29YZ2FH5nvwqSzkO/s640/IMG_0100.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I love the colors of the coleus and the caladium.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHYTpptgd3pOkU-WdCtDe_shi9KcDW4jtudkaYdN61NbwcXc3kxH_3tsTXKPm3RNl-mwD04YPN_r3bO7dARHleg5gfSXLsD6xyIPx9srY7J1wFL6LYZAs2NN3mJ4VugpgP6mfQZ4e8Fahn/s1600/IMG_0101.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHYTpptgd3pOkU-WdCtDe_shi9KcDW4jtudkaYdN61NbwcXc3kxH_3tsTXKPm3RNl-mwD04YPN_r3bO7dARHleg5gfSXLsD6xyIPx9srY7J1wFL6LYZAs2NN3mJ4VugpgP6mfQZ4e8Fahn/s640/IMG_0101.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-JTb6g46We880r45GPt7BMmxmP7z30gC1APcTB8oaR8dpaNfRmCYjMyzwSOilM23KeHyA971Xq3UPiP_TSmMx49afNzESmML0xj7juA23QkenXLVgfchXR2b7IH4t60PeIvzG56UgjEX/s1600/IMG_0102.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF-JTb6g46We880r45GPt7BMmxmP7z30gC1APcTB8oaR8dpaNfRmCYjMyzwSOilM23KeHyA971Xq3UPiP_TSmMx49afNzESmML0xj7juA23QkenXLVgfchXR2b7IH4t60PeIvzG56UgjEX/s640/IMG_0102.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu14h_AWaBc6vXbg-btZFZji1IJLmCac_dJgBG8SFDPoOnT8MxAR1C4zU0mMLM2AJyH1-7NvBlVpER-K5IJOnH_V74LISNQOtpl2eviFjgIB4DvaKDTSACn-9gi2vYEVDU9s4z1TzKSxZh/s1600/IMG_0103.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu14h_AWaBc6vXbg-btZFZji1IJLmCac_dJgBG8SFDPoOnT8MxAR1C4zU0mMLM2AJyH1-7NvBlVpER-K5IJOnH_V74LISNQOtpl2eviFjgIB4DvaKDTSACn-9gi2vYEVDU9s4z1TzKSxZh/s640/IMG_0103.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This is how it looks now!!!!

I hope YOU have had a beautiful Spring day as we have had today!!! Joe and I had to go to the old house this morning to see what paint we had that we can use and I did a LITTLE cleaning (cause I can't stand it). We were meeting the cleaning gal there to go over what we want her to do; but we are going to paint some and replace some carpeting then have her clean and then we stage and THEN get it on the market............AGAIN!!! I am trying VERY hard to be positive and upbeat about all this. Then we went and got some lunch then came home and I started planting!!!!! And putzing:):) I had gotten 4 hyacinths as gifts over Easter so decided to get them into the ground TODAY!!! I brought over one of my favorite pots that had been left at the old house so put 2 of the hyacinths in it. After they are done I will plant annnuals in this pot for the summer!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTpmrAfTZt_xWcsRAq1WZW8toLw3mqAko2QJ1hPVQB0bKBw4GzkOZXsVuRnHgVDftIaeJLvwTIOMy_KwjR8use-Km7svEroQjVAFNccevgTsO8uD-37MVrmBywnp3pxJxz3sq2QhhgBYZ2/s1600/Front+porch+and+some+flowers+4-7-13+001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTpmrAfTZt_xWcsRAq1WZW8toLw3mqAko2QJ1hPVQB0bKBw4GzkOZXsVuRnHgVDftIaeJLvwTIOMy_KwjR8use-Km7svEroQjVAFNccevgTsO8uD-37MVrmBywnp3pxJxz3sq2QhhgBYZ2/s640/Front+porch+and+some+flowers+4-7-13+001.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNel38kpNs2XtuS-NyS6NEm6dY7swJJDPDMYsr1nibHYaL6V9MRD1QmdAAxTvKLbPru5YNkvmkzp3MLjtPFAZ-KqhjjlPAMNsosnRloU606RsdKbvR7sjPGIIdnA9GBOCLXLBLmnqwQnG0/s1600/Front+porch+and+some+flowers+4-7-13+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNel38kpNs2XtuS-NyS6NEm6dY7swJJDPDMYsr1nibHYaL6V9MRD1QmdAAxTvKLbPru5YNkvmkzp3MLjtPFAZ-KqhjjlPAMNsosnRloU606RsdKbvR7sjPGIIdnA9GBOCLXLBLmnqwQnG0/s640/Front+porch+and+some+flowers+4-7-13+002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I then put the other 2 hyacinths in the ground here in the front of the house.
