Don't you just love my little gray clay pot??
My 50 cent purchase at an antique mall.
I was wishing they had a dozen of them!
My adorable little fairy chair that I have had
for several years. I was in my potting shed today planting violas in teacups for a Ladies tea that we are having at our church on Sunday. Guess who is in charge of the decor?
ps...I am loving my new camera!
Happy playing in the dirt in the days ahead. :)
Your photos are so wonderful! You really see how sweet and delicate the flowers are. Fabulous quotes too!!

What delightful little blooms! so sweet and charming! Did you say you made a teacup plant for me?!! Thanks so very much for stopping by my place and reading about my spray paint fiasco....
ReplyDeletePoetry and gardening really complement each other. I like the poems and the pictures of your planted violas. They're lovely! Something good, wonderful and beautiful comes out in playing with dirt. It's a different experience to be gardening in the garden.
