This year, I decided to stick with a two color flower theme for the front yard, namely, red and white.
Just thought I'd show you how things are coming along. Thanks to my husband (he's the one with the green thumb, not me. I just buy the plants I like and he plants them. Isn't that a great arrangment?)
I love the look of flowers in a front yard. If I had my way, I'd buy at least a dozen hanging flowers for the side porch, as well, but that's out of the question this year. Still, red geraniums I bought at a Farmer's Market are filling up the white window boxes and look lovely.
One year, I had two huge pots of beautiful pink geraniums. Someone came in the night and stole both of them! It was so shocking to my husband and me that a person could be so low as to do that. They were big pots, too!
This year, however, the big pots at the top of the front stairs have been drilled into the bricks. Ha! I'd like to see somebody try to walk away with these babies.
These hostas grow like Jack in the Beanstalk plants. One day they are two inches tall and the next day, wow! They are up to your knee.
One of the bonuses of having lovely flowers is to be able to share beauty with everyone in the neighborhood who is passing by.
I love impatiens because they are so generous.
Here are the perky red geraniums in the window box. See my pink dollhouse peeking out from the side of the curtain? I love lace curtains and have them on almost all the windows of our house.
DO YOU HAVE FLOWERS IN YOUR FRONT YARD?
