I am really loving this sunshining Monday!
ahhh sunshine!
Last week was one rainy week here in Ohio!
Proof:
A vase left on the table outside.. all from last week!
I almost fell walking out to take this picture because the deck was covered in slime (??) from all the rain since we are too lazy haven’t gotten around to staining it yet!
One positive of all this rain is that my flowers are absolutely thriving!
Our mums are starting to bloom, a sure sign that fall is in the air.
These mums were a gift from J’s mom. We just simply planted them in the ground a few falls ago and they have come back bigger every year! 🙂 We thought they would die in the winter and be gone forever, but to our surprise (and delight!) we are able to enjoy them every year without having to pay for new plants.
The rain has also helped this little monster to grow:
This thing is taller than me now! It’s supposed to just be a cute little bush at the end of the driveway, but I think I see a new location in the future. Somewhere were it can grow freely and we don’t have to trim it ever few weeks! Word of advice-when planning your flower beds read how big things get and plan accordingly. Oh well, you live and learn and then buy plants that don’t need constant maintainance!
I’m off to give Mr. Monster Bush a haircut!
Hope everyone gets a chance to enjoy this beautiful day!
