Blue Monday & MET MONDAY!



Thanks to
Sally 
@ 
we have another
Blue Monday!
and
I finally remembered
to take pictures 
of a before
so that I can join in
on 
Susan's

Here are pictures of my front porch
before I added the pretty 
Pansies, Violas 
&
Ivy





And here is a picture of my 
blue wheelbarrow.....




Hope you have a pleasant week!

Sorry my pics are out of order but I just could not 
rearrange them today.  Blogger is not behaving for me today.
How about you?

    Thanks for the visit to my site.
    I never used to like blue but I keep seeing posts from you ladies who pick the nicest hues of blue and use them beautifully. I see it in a whole different way now.
    My decorative bird house actually has a bird building a nest in it this year. I hope he stays because it is right beside my front steps and walkway.

    Loved all of the blue!! Will the pansies, etc. last all summer up there? Here in Colorado, it gets too hot in July & August and pansies just don't do well. Some I planted last Fall did live in a protected area over winter, however. I love seeing gardens from different areas of the country. Yours look charming! Sally

    Your pansies look so pretty! I want to start planting stuff in my yard, but I'm still waiting to see what comes up.

    I think that is one of the reasons I love pansies--truly blue flowers are few are far between. Love your planting!

    I always love the splash of spring color pansies give you. They are such hardy little buggers. It looks great!
