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. To do any additional planting we have to have everything "approved" and we haven't done that yet so I have to stay in these beds that were done with the house.....for now.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG_Zf1CmGoEudo81AWxqJ9vbEYqAuAVr6BXMZy9rbY84bgzC0YS2mGlZ3huxpq6TcrB0x_RdS2l-j6hyBy19ZVo2uX_e3yYlo56APKW47B1VfaqQL0_bZa_aYtL8aIHDfdkOjwkTrt0CN-/s1600/Front+porch+and+some+flowers+4-7-13+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG_Zf1CmGoEudo81AWxqJ9vbEYqAuAVr6BXMZy9rbY84bgzC0YS2mGlZ3huxpq6TcrB0x_RdS2l-j6hyBy19ZVo2uX_e3yYlo56APKW47B1VfaqQL0_bZa_aYtL8aIHDfdkOjwkTrt0CN-/s640/Front+porch+and+some+flowers+4-7-13+003.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> I bought these 2 hydrangeas at Lowes the other day cause they were reduced to $5.00!!!!!!!!! They are beautiful lace capped hydrangeas. I put them in one of my copper pots by the front door for now. As soon as I can, they will go over on the side of the house, but I wanted to get them OUT of the tiny pots they were CRAMMED into and give them a little breathing room!!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG2k9fJEpe0mSR2nBjS2-KqC5LepzuAdwH67ol-IEBfz_QajslwDKnLi7tU6UDURCS4mP4vSPibYSNfIZ28ybGrntpfBj3KLMME09XEqAkdl79GaoI-PB2e9JKcZFp5KDnmOPAhTWPspbh/s1600/Front+porch+and+some+flowers+4-7-13+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG2k9fJEpe0mSR2nBjS2-KqC5LepzuAdwH67ol-IEBfz_QajslwDKnLi7tU6UDURCS4mP4vSPibYSNfIZ28ybGrntpfBj3KLMME09XEqAkdl79GaoI-PB2e9JKcZFp5KDnmOPAhTWPspbh/s640/Front+porch+and+some+flowers+4-7-13+005.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This is my little bunny that I got at Kirklands right after Easter for 1/2 price:) Joe asked me if he was supposed to be white.
