The year of potted plants

 

I love new plants, but since I do not take care of the yard anymore I am not planting any more yard plants. I bought a lot of potted plants for my new porch. My very favorite is the succulent container in the back here. It has over a dozen different succulents. The black pot in front with the purple purslane had to be repoted today because the it's pot blew over and broke last night. 

Every year I give small presents to the dozen or so people in my group at work. This year I am giving plants again. Today I potted some cuttings from my collection. 

I will have to have several extra started cause sometimes they do not do well. And, sometimes I decide I don't want to part with them.

104 in the shade

 

Above is forErin.

104 both front and back porch just now. I am ready for cooler weather.

Woohoo, 3 days off

 My little birds flew away a couple of days ago and I did not even get to see them leave.

No work til Tuesday. I only worked 4 hours today. They are going back to working Friday each week, but I am only working my 40 hours from now on. That means 4 hours on Friday. Nine o'clock is when I hit 40 hours each week, so plenty of time to do something or nothing.

Today I went to Branson and got this rug for my bathroom.

Plus this one for in front of the front door.  Got them at Ross's. Only other money spent was fir lunch at Wendy's.  Then came home and took a nap.

Beginning to look like birds

 

This is hummingbird mint. I think I will try to find some for this pot again next year.

They  will likely fledge this weekend. If not, sometime early in the week.

Birds, plants and one little frog

The babies. I see wing feathers.

This is thee lantana I am taking to Betty. I am going Friday September 18. 

I cleaned up my glass table I keep plants on. Found this little green frog.

I put him in with the succulent plants in the middle here.

Washed my shoes in the machine with towels. The pink shoes came out looking almost like new and dried completely in a couple of hours. Also, yesterday I washed Helen's braided rug in the machine. It came out looking much better. I am trying to decide if this is one she made or one she brought.
