Annuals, sman-nuals...

It's that time of year!

LOVE getting annuals at our local amish nursery. Those amish know how to cook up some plants. It's like pure heaven walking through the isles and isles of gorgeousness. Darin took a personal day yesterday and re-did our deck so mama got to go to the greenhouse girl-less! Again, more heavenness. =) I could gawk without being on mega mama alert for the girl to start playing in the dirt and the baby to eat dirt.

And the little amish gal probably thought I was some city proper chick when I asked said,

"I want some compost.. what is the difference between the horse compost and the duck compost?"

To which she replied,

"One is horses poop and the other is duck poop."

Thank you, thank you captain amish obvious...

Man, I could spent hundreds of dollars on annuals but let's face it.. they die.

And let's really face it, come August I'll be sick of watering them and then they'll die sooner than they really should. =/

But wanted to show you the columns my hubby made for me to go by our front door and our side door...

A big shout out to Walmart for having the exact color of green pots that match our siding. Pretty sure they knew the color of siding we had when they created them becuase they match PERFECTLY!

And had him made me one for the side porch by the rocking chairs we never sit on... By show of hands, who thinks they need to be tan like our trim? I do, I do!

And who wants to come and paint them for me?

Not it. =/

Decked out our front planter...

And these are going in the planter Darin's building for me in the new deck... Gerbera's... our wedding flower...LOVE THEM!

And I've mentioned the deck that we just re-did, right? Wanna know what we found when we took up our first deck board? Yep.

4 kittens.

All of them have scedaddled cept one, Mr. Meow face.

And after my pleads on Facebook for someone to please come and get this cute kitten, 94.8% of my facebook friends agree that kittens are awesome and cute, cats? Not so much.

And there is a certain someone who is getting rather attached.. As is the kitty to her...

Joya just likes to pick it up by it's tail.

Every day Adie runs out to the shed and says,

"Kitty, I've missed you!"

Cept for yesterday when she came inside crying (it was a no nap day) saying she was done playing with the kitty. I asked her why and she said,

"the kitty is not obeying me!"

Ha! Funny how the roles changed!

So please.. either come and take this kitten or pray that it runs away because it's driving the dog (and mommy) nuts. =/

Now go out and buy your annuals and pray it doesn't frost so they don't die! Cuz they'll die in August and that will be here soon enough. And someone come and get Mr. Meow Face kitty!
