Sorry for the absence, we've had so many things going on schedule wise that I needed a break from at least one blog. Also, I'm in the process of melding two of my blogs so I'm working on that as well.
But today, I want to tell you about an indulgence buy that is so making me want to be outdoors more. My coleus plants! I got them at Home Depot for $1.29 a pot (there are three in the pot.
Also, I just love these rectangular claypots! I've wanted some for so long but could never really afford them. So last week, I told myself that I'm living a little and spent money on those pots. Seeing them everyday helps me to get up and out and check on all of my plants, as few as they are. And those coleus, I just love, love them but the few I've tried in the past, didn't grow so well and well, died! LOL
Look! I have two of them! I'm being brave, ha? LOL And look at this bottom one, is that a flower?

TABLESCAPING IDEA: ("Brain" is nuts about purple) Surround yourself and your table with your favorite colors when celebrating anything. It's a quick "pick me up" remedy!
Thanks for peeking!
That is a pretty plant!

ReplyDeleteMy Wordful/Outdoor Wednesday is all about something that was 'taken from our yard'. But at our request. Happy Wednesday to you.
I get excited about pots and plants too, so it's fun to share that obsession with others! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!

Coleus comes in so many pretty varieties now! I love the pots too :)
ReplyDeleteI bought some coleus this summer too. In one pot it is doing well, but in the other it seems all the rain has wilted it.
ReplyDeleteHello dear ladies, thank you so much for leaving some wonderful comments!
ReplyDeleteMy coleus do best in an area that stays a bit drier than the rest. Maybe that is a clue to keeping them happy.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!!!
Great blog you have some really beautiful things on here. Glad I stopped by to see it. Hope you have a great weekend!!
