Big Saturday Night

So my balcony has slowly been furnished since moving in last July...

...but still no flowers.

You may have seen Mary Margaret Cockroft's tweet yesterday with a picture of her nicely potted flowers and kite decor for her balcony.

Well, I got inspired when I went over to her apt last night before a trip to Hobby Lobby.

(Yep, we're living it up here in the big city.)

One trip to Hobby Lobby and Lowes later...

And below is the product of how MM and I spent our Saturday night.

(I had way too much fun playing in the dirt...and then sweeping it off the balcony...

...I really am turning into my mother...which I'm thrilled about.)

This is the bench Lori and I put together back in the fall.

Here's my balcony.

I like to call it a porch though.

We have the best view of the lake.

Talk about a great place for reading and drinking coffee...or other beverages...

(Why oh why is this underlined??)

Okay, I officially joined in with all you bloggers who blog about flowers.

I hope you were thoroughly impressed.

love and miss
