Looking around the porch

I am on vacation, but because of the dreary, rainy, cold weather I am have not gotten much done today.

A couple of weeks ago, I did finish getting somethings out on the porch when we had some nice weather.

Didn't the birds build a beautiful nest? It was on top of a McCoy pot I had there! It had one blue robins egg and now it is gone...the squirrel I think got it! Darn squirrel, we are at war since he broke one of my flower pots you may of read in my last post.

My shelves with vintage planters



And now to show you my favorite idea that I did soon after I moved in 16 years ago when I found this trellis

Love my chippy green, sturdy, tall trellis. And there is my Green chair I got in my hometown of Greenup!

small vintage watering cans

Hopefully the weather will bring the sun tomorrow. Mr. Sentimental brought my geraniums and ferns home from wintering at his business so they need some TLC before they go on the porch.

Today is also our wedding anniversary...nothing special, just a couple of steaks on the grill.

Well....I did have one table top here!

Pink Flower Stand

I just started my vacation, so I plan on working out in the yard this next week..can't wait. Hope it does not rain again and again.

Last week I was able to get the front porch cleaned.

I was so happy when I found this pink wire flower stand a few years ago. Rebecca I may of bought off of you? I have it filled with my pink McCoy flower pots and yes, pink flowers!

The darn squirrels broke one of my figure flower pots. One I really liked but can not repair. So here is a repurpose!

Her poor little head broken off, but she looks good peeking out behind the blooms in the flower pot!

Hopefully my husband will get my planter boxes back on the front porch and I can fill them with the pink geraniums that always are on my porch. I always wonder if anyone ever calls our house the "pink geranium house"

Have a wonderful Pink Saturday!

After the wedding, I am off to 1515 and then to Indiana for a cousin weekend of fun and laughs!

Vintage Victorian Metal Flower Stand

This weekend I had some good weather days so we were able to get out and wash the siding and clean off the front porch. So then I could begin planting some things in my vintage flower pots.

This is my vintage wire flower stand. I had wanted one for years but they were so expensive until I found this one!



This is the mess I had!  before now.............

after....aahhh all clean and planted.

home depot had a good sale on geraniums, so I decide to go with them. I have trouble getting things to grow here, no sun until late afternoon then it is so intense.

I am so happy when I find old trellis's, I love the look.

My kitty cat to watch over the porch!

This is one of my favorite McCoy pots, because of the rose design. I have the same one in pink.

Since it is almost Easter, here are 2 of my bunny planters.

I could show you my other trellis and outdoor front porch vignettes but I will save that for another week.

My wicker planter is in need of repair and my husband has not brought the ferns and geraniums home from storing them at his business over the winter yet. The geraniums are in planter boxes my mom had built for her mother on mothers day during WWII. They are filled with pink geraniums, I have hanging pink geraniums and ferns hanging around the wrap around porch. I sometimes wonder if people call my house the pink geranium house?
