SEEING COMO RED

FOR MY JULY BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

LAST YEAR

I was blessed with this galvanized tub 

which we used for icing down sodas 

when we had company.

The tub fixture remained in the KITCHEN through out the year collecting bags of potato chips, potatoes and just a little of this 'n that.  Instead of putting it in storage and not using it very often, 

I thought it would make a cute planter.  

We moved it outside to the KITCHEN PORCH.

I wanted to be the one to drill holes in the tub for drainage. 

Asked HUSBAND if he would show me how to use his handheld power drill.  He did and I felt powerful using it.  4 holes later, I wiped the tub out and we dumped nutritious potting soil in.  Placed the mum in and patted her down.  Watered and admired the lovely BELGIAN MUM in the tub.

Two other MUMS will be planted in the large round containers that sit on the patio.  

All the same color called COMO RED.

~AFTER~

Glad we did this simple little chore.

Makes me HAPPY.

We should get hours of pleasure when looking at the flowers in tub. 

AUTUMN is in about 43 days starting on September 22nd.

Pumpkins will join the encore soon.

Temps need to cool off 

and the evening shade start earlier.

Thinking about wreaths for the front doors.

Autumn colors.

Blessings to you,
