30 Weeks

 

I hit the 30 week mark this weekend.  This pregnancy is flying by!  We had a rainy weekend, and with feeling more tired again in the third trimester, Kingston and I clocked in some serious cuddle and nap time.  The positive part of all the rain is that I didn't need to water my garden!

In the Garden: Pots and Boxes

The weather has finally decided to stay above 0 C.  Yay! 

I spent part of my long weekend planting my annuals into my flower pots and window boxes.  The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and Kingston got in on the action too.  Take a look at my work so far:

 

 

Top: Mix of papyrus grass, African daisies, nemesia, euphorbia and wire vine

Middle: Fuschia, clover and double impatians

Bottom: Vinca vine, geranium, wave petunia and ivy

(I saved $$ and went with the 99 cent geraniums and petunias - boxes should fill out soon!)

Top: Kingston has claimed the comfy chair

Bottom left: Purple fountain grass, trailing bamboo grass, angelonia and nemesia

Bottom right: Lofos climbing vine

The Patio

Our patio has undergone a bit of a makeover this spring.  I found an amazing deal on this 5-piece patio set at The Bay.  It was exactly what I was looking for, and isn't too big for our small space.  I decided to buy new flower containers to go with the new patio furniture.  After many many shopping trips, I finally settled on these large black square pots.  All together I love the new look of our patio!

Happy Saturday!

   

Practically perfect in every way.

The final bucket list activity for fall - wear a costume!

I went to our halloween event as Mary Poppins - which was actually quite easy to put together and super comfortable all evening!
