It is amazing how much you can get done while staying away from the computer. Two flats of flowers were planted. One flat of vincas. One flat of impatiens. Plants were potted. Weeds were pulled. Bags of mulch were drug in and then dug in. I saw a quote that said something about, paying attention to where your mind wanders when you are doing nothing. Mine wanders to my garden. I might just have to change this blog to a gardening blog. Don't you love that barrel? I planted a red Martha Washington geranium in the middle of my begonias. There's a coleus tucked in too. I tucked some alyssum seeds in there and they should be sprouting soon. I can't get over how pretty it is. Louie's at the gate just waiting for you to visit. He says, "Woof, woof". That's Happy Pink Saturday in dog speak. Thank's Beverly for reminding me!

It is such a nice thing to get your hands dirty and see progress in growth. Something about geraniums in terra cotta. Such an American tradition. Lovely hobby. I was getting worried about you. Looks like you are just fine. I did the strawberries and they were fantastic. Thanks for sharing...smiles...Renee

hi, I'm visiting over from Beverly's at Pink Saturday. I know exactly how you feel, things get done if you step away for awhile. I'm loving your dog, he looks like he probably helps plant to, Lovely flower containers you have. Happy Pink Saturday....

Hi Betty, my life is crazy busy as always and I love to work in my garden. I haven't been able to do much lately. Your garden is looking gorgeous. I love the barrel and what you planted. The little statue is the perfect touch. Louie waiting to woof me hello behind the pretty gate is sooooo darn cute. No wonder you are crazy about him.
We are in the process of packing the RV (fifth wheel) to go to Maine for a month. Cheri' is going on an adventure. We are supposed to have service so I will post when I can from Maine. Exciting huh?
Let your mind wonder and dream of all the lovely flowers you planted Betty. Hard work with huge rewards...is a blessing.
Love, Jeanne xo

Your garden is so beautiful! Years ago I lived in the South and fell in love with impatiens. I've about decided they came by that name for a reason because I have yet to be successful with them and am growing a little impatient. =0) So, I will instead enjoy yours!
Happy Pink Saturday

Step away from the computer??? Yikes!
That's where my garden is!
JK.
Maybe my heart and brain though...
Stay pink ;)

I love the computer for blogging, but will take working in the dirt any day. I enjoy working in my yard and flowers. A little dirt never hurt anyone.

Happy Pink Saturday Betty and Louie Sweeties...
What a wonderful share today. I so enjoyed seeing your gardens of love. What gorgeous color and blooms, just waiting beyond the garden gate.
In my mind I can smell the lovely fragrances, and I love it that someone else loves some of my favorites as well.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend sweetie. Give Louie a pat on the head for me. He is SO handsome. Many hugs and much love, Sherry

Betty,
Your yard just looks beautiful. And your dog...I love him! Louie is such a good name. I bet he would love Harvey and Sophie!
I did indeed send to the first list of postcard swappers. I am just glad you got one!
Hugs,
Suz
