This is the area right outside my patio door. I can see it from the living room and is an area that I change around quite often. Right now we're having a purple-flower-bunny-roller coaster theme.
I am totally in love with my purple dahlia. This was a Mother's Day present to myself (I'm quite the gift giver when I'm the recipient).
My solar jar light that my sister from Oregon sent me last year. She's also a good gift giver.
Here's where the roller coaster theme comes in. It is an image that I found on Google, printed on to card stock and slipped into my canning jar. It reminds me of the Dick and Jane books. See Jane scream. Scream, Jane, scream!
A wicker basket of violas. Or are these just mini pansies?
They didn't have a stick in them, but I have always called them violas.
I love the barn in the reflection of the glass in this photo. It's a pretty barn from afar, up close, not so much.
OK, run off to some blogs that have something exciting to talk about today. I'm a little light on words. Skedaddle!

Hilarious image of Jane! She needs to put on the brakes!

I love the colors. I have never tried Dahlias, but they are my sister's favorite. She found a great source for some huge ones this year, only to have someone pull them out of her garden. Can you imagine. I guess that is a pitfall of living in the city, never know all your neighbors.
