holiday happiness ~ 12 days of christmas

i am going to make an effort to join my sister, meems @ hoe and shovel.blogspot.com/ in posting from the garden or outside decor...the 12 days of christmas...it is day 2 and i am a little late so i will post two things today.



if you want to join in on the fun just let me know and i will come check out your 12 days of christmas.

and day 2...

like meems i keep my eye on things...this planter was something i kept watching...

until i felt like the price was more reasonable...

buying containers in the off season is the way to go...this was originally well over a hundred dollars and i went in the other day to my local nursery for some live wreaths...of course i had to walk around and see what was in the gardening part of the nursery. they had finally marked it down to $ 50 but i asked for a better price and got it for 25...it was home and planted with white violas that day.

it is rustic and hopefully the dogs will stay away.

happy days of december to all.
