Grandmother Wren

A sunny Blue Monday morning in the garden. Late spring moving into early summer – it's time to start planting.

Here is a basket of pansies we potted and hung on the garden hook -

If you have just a tiny bit of patience, it is much less expensive to pick up a couple of six packs of annuals and plant your own hanging basket – twelve little plants for less than $4.00 or a full hanging hanging basket for $12.99.

Patience pays.

Maya and I have been scouting the neighborhood for wild violets, digging them up and bringing them home to nestle under the shrubs. More thrifty gardening and so pretty…

We did splurge on a cherry tree last year – we planted it in front of the picture window. It is lovely in bloom this spring.

enjoy more of Blue Monday – visit Smiling Sally - and take a look at the gorgeous blue orchids her son found at Home Depot!

   I love all your baskets.  So pretty.  I just cannot wait, so I just pay the price and get the baskets.
