From the deck

We spend as much morning time sitting on our deck as we can. It's peaceful, the view is happy and flower-filled and we enjoy our coffee/dietpepsi and read the paper. Here are a few shots I took from my chair on the deck.

From my chair



Beside me are some colorful little ceramic pots I picked up at Hobby Lobby plus some nasty old plastic pots I planted some seeds and flowers in.



This is Torenia fournieri, sometimes called the Wishbone Flower...it's new to me and I got these because I was looking for something blue to plant in these little blue buckets and this was as close as I could find. I love this plant!



We get buzzed by these little hummers all the time. They go thru a lot of homemade hummer feed in a week!



We have volunteer sunflower seeds that came up in our little raised veggie beds. I left them so the goldfinches would visit our yard! They aren't quite ready yet, but the finches have been scoping them out! (No goldfinch in this photo)



We have our chicken coop in the shed down on the patio. There are two large blue pots with petunias and moss roses planted in them on either side of the doorway to the shed. Here's a zoom shot of the flowers in one of the big blue pots...
