One of the unexpected (although I really should have anticipated it) pleasures of having window boxes is that they are beautiful not just from the outside but from the inside, too!

We’re off on our Maine adventure and I (probably) won’t be posting next week. You can always follow me on Instagram but be prepared for lots of lobster photos!

Take good care, friends.

Let us not underestimate the simple beauty of the marigold. It’s a workhorse of a flower and I love its bright orange color.

Let us also not underestimate the beauty of the weekend! Have a great one!

The Siberian Iris by my kitchen door are spectacular right now and I’m happy to share them virtually with you.

I wish I could share the weekend with you virtually, too! Hope yours is great!

I plant a lot of containers for our deck and, while I really love plenty of foliage like coleus, I can’t resist gerbera daisies. These pink ones are beautiful, even covered in raindrops, and I hope they will bloom all summer long.

Happy weekend, friends!

The lilacs are just about done now and the bridal wreath is blooming instead. Summer is on the way, friends, and it’s a long weekend!

Have a great one!
