Thoughts on Monday

Mondays are pretty welcome after a nice weekend.

We had delightful weather the past couple of days-----brilliant sunshine and cool temps. Perfect!

Saturday morning, hubs and I attended one of our favorite functions----a farmers' market.

I bought some tarragon as well as window box plants---- coleus and million bells.

We were about to walk back to our car when I spotted a drop dead gorgeous hanging begonia.

It had profusely growing fire-engine red blooms!

Oh, it was a sight to see.

Since I had squirreled away gift money from our 40th anniversary in March,  there was enough to buy it, even after the other purchases.

Hub's eyes opened wide when he saw the guy from the market carrying it to our car.

It is truly one of the most magnificent begonias I have ever seen in my life.

You know what? 

My paternal Grandmother always had begonias so maybe that's why I had a visceral reaction when I laid eyes on that beauty.

So the dashing begonia now hangs, in all her glory, on the back porch and I am grateful to the core.

How was your weekend?

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ABOUT THE CARE OF BEGONIAS?
