Truth Be Told!

My last post was about beautiful store bought roses and yes they are easy and so beautiful but they never last long enough and they never give me the satisfaction or the the thrill of something I actually planted and have carefully taken care of.  Truth be told, I love gardening!  I love being outside and sweating, yes sweating!  I even love cutting my own grass, propelled mower no rider.

Take a look at this double begonia. Isn't it beautiful.  I found out it loves water more water than your usually summer shade flower. I walk out my door and there it is and I give it lots of water.  Giving it so much water has given me over six blooms from one plant.

Enjoy Gods beauty and every moment of it and truth be told I prefer being outside.  You know what they say, you can take the girl out of the country but you will never take the country out of the girl, if you only knew!

Hellofit!

Dear Blogging Friends,

I hope you had a chance to check out Lola's  new outfit this year at Where Bloggers Create!  This post is all about buying beautiful flowers, well, you know, for the Hellofit!  Publix, my fav grocery store had 18 roses for $10 so, I felt guilty and bought them for the Hellofit! I painted up a few shabby finds to make the shabby roses even more beautiful.  A shabby chippy stool, a beautiful shabby frame and my mantel with new shabby painted shutters!  The shabby cream roses have a hint of pink on the edge of the roses.  So, do you ever feel like buying something for the Hellofit?

Love,

Debby
