Buddies

This weekend, for the first time in my life (that I can remember), I got my hands dirty with some soil and potted some flowers.  The buddies are Geraniums, Marigolds, and Vincas, hanging out with their friends the Asparagus Ferns.  I feel a great sense of pride in these buds in their new little homes that are now adorning our back porch, patio and front pillars.  Dan and I also assembled our patio and porch furniture... which means we are almost officially ready for autumn evenings.   We are one barbecue grill away from having a fully functional backyard.  Here's what the patio looks like now.  Hooray!
