Front Porch, Cart, Flowers...

Alrighty, I didn't realize I hadn't gotten around to posting what I did with my freshly painted garden cart and flower pots.  So, for your joy and delight...my front stoop/porch/step/thing!

Left side! The hanging pot has a plant I'm trying to save.
It's a vine type plant, with purple velvet leaves.   It looks much better several months later.
Plus robins made a nest in the mums!  I'll have to find those pics.

Hmmm, what goes where?  I did buy enough plants?  

Right side! This was a while back, so the plants have mostly filled in.
And the bikes live in the garage.

I know they are a very humble plant, but I really like marigolds.  These are such a
lovely orange,against the lime of the cart.

My mums!  The insane horrid heat has made them look pretty pathetic these days.

HOLY CRAP! Lawn turtle! Seriously, it was digging a hole and laying eggs.

My favorite flower.  I've gotten a number of blooms out of it, which is awesome.
It just makes me so happy to look at them.

Wait, were did you come from?  All of a sudden my yard has become a critter mecca.

Garden Cart Update

I've had this white, rusting metal rolling garden cart kicking around for the last year. I've been meaning to do something with it for ages, and when I was exploring the spray paint aisle, the lime green just called out to me.

The cart is going for a little ride.

I painted the underside first.  It was not a pleasant surprise to flip it and see zero  coverage.
I then made a trip back to the store to get another bottle of the green spray paint.

Finally!  It's almost done!  Praise the FSM!  What you don't see is the fact that I
totally painted my feet green. They stayed green for a painfully long time, so I looked rather moldy.

Wow, I really do not have much of a lawn.  But my cart sure is green.

Could we be any cuter? (the answer to that is: NO)
