Jennifer Aniston Needs To Loan Me Her Garden Staff

7/3/2012

 
So I finally got some flowers in da house.
I mean on da property.
Da property doesn't sound near as cool as da house though.

Technically though, this picture is taken at

"da barn".

Picture




The poor outside of the summer kitchen had some new color planted too.

Some pink petunias were planted in a broken down bushel basket. And the flower box sings red and purple now.
Picture



The flower cart planters were filled too.

Picture
OH!
Look at this cute donkey by the house.
He says, "Why is there a plant on my back instead of a child, jugs of water and  woven baskets of food?"



Know who else is cute????







Yittle tiny babee
Little Boy Blue!! 
Who is decidedly not  yittle or tiny anymore, so I need to stop saying that.
Picture
Look at those toofies!!!




Picture
So anyway....

Little Boy Blue spent part of the weekend with us,


and he helped me cook up some Sweet Potato Shepherd's Pie.

Gotta get these kids started early in the kitchen, you know!





Picture


He was actually interested AND engaged in seeing how things were mixed up and put together.

I had a stool in front of him that I used like a counter.




Picture
I asked Little Boy Blue if he wanted some of the soft, cooked, schmushed up sweet potatoes and squash.

He seemed excited to have a bite off his blue spoon.






Picture
"Grandma, what the h - e - double-hockey sticks was THAT??? Seriously!! I want my mom and dad!"




Picture
Sweet baby boy quickly recovered though and was excited for me to continue cooking with him..



Back to the flowers now....I actually threw some flower pots in pots...and a pan!
Picture



The horse trough and a bench receive some Angie beautification.
Picture
HEY!
My vines are growing back up the summer kitchen. The whole wall was covered with vines for years....

Picture


They even grew into the summer kitchen and  swirled around the antique, er, junque pieces up there.


And then one year they died.

But they're back now! Yay!




Picture

So this plant...I placed on this metal 1960's plant stand outside the summer kitchen.

And then three hours later it fell over when a wisp of wind came up.

So then I anchored it with that cement piece down there.

Cause
I.
Am.
Classy.
Like.
That.


Yeah.

Picture
Well, these crocks by the house are safe from sauerkraut and pickles this year.

Thank goodness huh!!!


And lastly, I will show you my nemesis....
Picture
The garden hose!
Blech! Boo. Hiss.
I am not a gardener and I do not like to water plants.

I want to be rich like Jennifer Aniston, and have her...you know, intelligence, and HIRE a full time gardener for this bounty of plants I have shown you today.



In closing.....
Picture
Little Boy Blue asks that any camera, remote, or cell phone you have in your hand.....to be so kind and give it to him.

Why is it a kid can have the world at his fingertips but all he wants is the electronic stuff?!?! How does that work?!?!





Okay ya'll!!
Have a great fourth of July!!
Stay nice and cool and sing a bunch of patriotic songs at the top of your lungs will ya?
People LOVE that :):):)
Talk at ya soon!
