Add Color, Add Style

I love spring. The flowers blooming, the birds singing and flocking to the bird feeders, the arrival of ducklings and baby chics, and being able to have school outside.

This past week as we got ready for spring, on the prettiest of days, we had school on our back porch and on the playground table. As I looked around at all of the beautiful offerings of spring, I was disappointed at how "unspringy" my back porch looked. It was just blah! No color, nothing special.

I visited the local garden center and bought as many red geraniums and red verbena as my car would hold -- I pushed it quiet a bit on this one. We had to strategically pack my car to get them all in.

A few years back, my husband gave me a bronze urn. I absolutely love this urn and use it frequently on our dining table for arrangements. But... it's heavy, it's big and you can't see around it when you are seated. So, I decided to bring it outside, fill it with the red verbena and enjoy the display.

Here is the result.

Instant color. Instant style.
