Busy , Beautiful , Long Weekend

 

                                                   Part 1

  Hey everyone hope you all had a good long weekend ! We sure did !

The weather here was lovely a bit chilly on Sat but Sunday and yesterday were perfect !

Went to the garden centre Saturday early morning to get our flowers for our gardens . Took Miggs with us as we do every year  cause she loves it there  and is such a good girl , all the people and flowers to sniff all the pats on the head and the odd cuddle she gets no wonder she loves it there lol !

When we got home we took out our flower haul from the van and put them on tables then decided from there who was going to go where ! We picked up lots of  plants that spread  , bush out and cascade !

                                    I took lots of photos !

                    Whilst we were at the garden centre Papa went into the cute little garden  shop that was there to use their washroom  as he came out of the garden shop he had this in his hands and said here is a little something I know you will like for  the yard !

Everything looks beautiful!! So many lovely plants, your garden already looks great, but when they all start to bloom it will be even better. Love the butterfly chimes that Papa bought you, what a nice fellow he is. Glad that you had a fun weekend. xx

Who wouldn't love to see Miggs come to their place??? Can't wait to see the flowers all matured. Give Miggs a sloppy kiss from all of us.

You two sure had a busy weekend. Good thing the weather was co-operating. I won't get my annuals for another week as there's still a risk of frost and also it's so wet right now they'd all mildew. That's happened before! I'm looking forward to it though! Have a great week.

Looking good you two! Love all that beautiful color!!! :)

Jane and Chris said...

Oh, Elaine,it's going to look absolutely gorgeous once it gets going! I see you have some of my likes there too.
Love the butterfly on the wind chime.

Doesn't it feel good seeing all those gorgeous flowers at the garden centre and knowing they'll soon be enjoyed around your own garden !
Lots of great plants there, and so many places to plant them.
Love your garden spots....

Years ago, I too would buy so many plants and put them all around the yard, but then had to keep them watered during our hot summers, which was a lot of work at times. Now I only put some in pots around the back patio and front porch....much easier care. Yiur gardens are sure to be lovely once all the flowers are blooming, Elaine.
