This post was almost a “fall is my favorite time of the year….” post. But, that would be a lie. Because, winter is my favorite. I love snow, boots, coats, ice skating, sledding, Christmas music.
So, instead it’s a My Flowers are Still Alive post! (insert happy dance!)
And, they happen to make my front porch look really festive.
I told you a few weeks ago I have a budget and I try to stick to it. Purchasing these fall flowers fell into the “shopping” category. And, thanks to the budget I really had to think about purchasing these flowers that will only last a few months – and the possibility of purchasing a pair of shoes.
Obviously I picked the flowers. Note: I only picked orange and white flowers to keep with my theme of orange this month.
I’m not sure if it’s my rural upbringing, but I enjoy the responsibility of caring for plants, even in an urban agricultural setting.
This little pig is starting to grow on me. A present from my mom when I worked at an agricultural organization promoting pork, he never was quite my favorite.
I’d be willing to swap him out for a reasonably sized chicken and name it whatever Beyonce decides to name that baby bump.
Beautiful flowers, Brooke! I’m jealous as we’ve had frost here several nights already so all my flowers have died.
The porch looks great! That last photo is excellent – love the lighting and the depth of it.
So… I may have what you’re looking for… and I know where to get more. Not talking marijuana, but reasonable sized metal chickens. I’m not sure what kind of high you get from pot, but I’m pretty sure this is way better.
