My GARDEN Chairs Were Actually USED !!

Waiting for occupants

I finally got my other matching chair from the front yard to the back ( courtesy of a little patience and my husband's muscles ), and then I put a pot I had inside a metal plant stand I ALSO had  ( wink, being frugal )...

and look how it turned out..

Perfect.

My luck it fit great.

So my chairs ( a mother's day gift from about 8 years ago ), have been reunited and are waiting for someone to sit there and look at my handiwork .

Got some mulch down in front, need 8 more bags. My husband goes, "  "Great, more mulch to drift away to the back yard or get destroyed by Maxine on squirrel death patrol. "

I gave him a dirty look as he says this every time I buy mulch.

I have high hopes for my mulch...every time I go back and buy more.

Back to my chairs..

I had mowed and raked today, had one shower already after my morning walk and then after just mowing, by the way

the humidity is killer today...
I was heading to take another shower ,

but  when I looked outside, I had the pleasure of seeing this out my big picture window...

I couldn't believe my eyes !! I had two LIVE people in my chairs out there , it was not my imagination...two little munchkins drinking soda and discussing their Godzilla Wii game they had just played, were enjoying the chairs ! Grabbed my camera and got a few shots,

I was creeping up behind them , silent as a cat...

I was so tickled. I believe all the energy from me being happy made my son turn around after this shot. So I came to the front of them , told these two 9 years olds to pose as if they were looking out onto the garden..

 This view...

They looked at me and then at each other and started smirking . I told them to fake it ! This is what I got...

Sideways smirking.

Additional smirking and indifference. Little punks in my chairs.

Then I made my son, the one in red, come take a picture of me with my crape myrtle, I have planted 7 crape myrtles in my yard , they LOVE my yard. Grow insanely and bloom like crazy.

The one below is at the right back of my garden. I planted it 4 1/2 years ago, look...

 That's me reaching , I am 5 ' 6 and it reaches up past the power line ! Crazy growth ! I'm going to cut most of them back next Spring , as they are too large for the space. I let my Crape myrtles grow naturally and never trim them.

Pretty soon my garden will be awash with white blossoms and then I have two pink behind this and one pink towards the driveway.

Need to do some housework ( boring ), but I am praying for God to help me be enthusiastic about it. He is trying I can tell, but His receptacle ( me ) , is one little tough nut to crack.

Blessings, 

Gina
