...but that's okay. I like it with this big "hanging plant" plunked down on top of it.
Sneak peek time! I was driving by this shop last week and spotted two items that made me do an immediate U-turn and go back! Can you guess which two I got? (And for next to nothing because they were rusty, which is a plus to me!!) You were right, cargol! They'll be dressed up for the porch party tomorrow, but until then here they are 'unadorned.'
This 7 pot planter reminds me so much of one that my mom got in the 1960's with her Raleigh cigarette coupons of all things (back before she quit smoking)...
And this little beauty, well, I just couldn't pass it up because I've owned its twin for years!
And look at my latest visitor... We've named him Flower, just like Bambi's friend. Is he heading for a drink perhaps? He wandered in and around my potted plants for a long time!! (Planting is definitely on my "to do" list for this week!!!)
I have bad news for the squirrels though.. I originally thought Flower was going after grubs to eat, but when he pushed dirt aside with his nose, he was coming up with peanuts that the squirrels had buried and was crunching them down non-stop! That's one smart skunk!!
Now you might be wondering why on earth these aren't blurry... I mean you would think a skunk would make my hands shake more than a squirrel or chipmunk! It's because I was safely up on the deck and had the camera resting on the railing, therefore no shaking!!
See you all at the Porch Party tomorrow!! Just click on the porch photo at the top right of my blog to go to Rhondi's... She will have a list of all the blogs showing pictures of their porches!!! I can't wait to visit them all!
