Planted butterfly bushes today along with four planters for the front porch. Next will be the planters on the back porch and the veg/herb garden. I've got tomatoes, peppers, basil (three types) and other herbs. Still need to get more veggies and plant sunflowers but it's getting there.

Planters at the driveway are full and looking good. I'd like to get some hanging baskets for the barn but they need watering twice a day...too much time!

I found a metal candlelabra and hung that on the front porch along with some votive candle jars that hang along the porch...very festive.

In the warmer months, we eat on either one of the porches and it's lovely. Usually in the mornings, it's on the back porch and afternoons, the front porch.

I know it's summer because the birds won't eat at the feeder..they would much rather eat God's provision now.
