When I was grocery shopping on Monday, I bought more flowers to put in pots and planters for the deck. Today I got them planted, and tomorrow will put them out on the newly painted deck. Getting ready for the weekend visit from some of David's siblings for dinner Saturday.
I still have two terracotta planters that would look great planted with impatiens. Our front stoop is in the shade nearly all the time from a huge honey locust tree and an equally large pine tree in front of the house. Impatiens will look nice, and should enjoy the shade.
I also have a couple of holders for those fiber 'bowl' planters that are for hanging. Since our deck has a pergola, it would be nice to have some flowers hanging from that, but I'll have to find plants that can take strong winds. I probably can't have fushia or anything delicate. I'll see what is still available, and then I think I'm done for this year. I'll try to get a photo of the deck with all of its flowers once we have a still day and sunshine. Won't be long and you may find me in my reclining chair, with a cool lemonade or ice tea, and a sun hat on my head...just reading my latest book! There are a couple of electric outlets out there, so I can even take music with me.... And, the deck is partially shaded some of the day, so I don't have to worry about getting a sunburn.
Ah, summer!
