Summer Front Yard, 2024 (2024)

Blogging has always been a stress reliever for me along with an avenue to share my passions which are my home and my garden.....

Joe would want me to continue doing what I love to do so with that being said.....

A NOTE ABOUT COMMENTS

I bought these solar lights in Big Lot's at 90% off

And these mini flags....

I shared this flower box on the side of the front porch planted with coleus....

To the right of the front porch is the small flower bed under the Living Room window.....

I moved these shepherd's hooks over to this flower bed this year and hung the tear drop shaped solar lights from them.....

I planted the pots in the flower bed with 4 marigolds....two yellow and two orange.....

My chippy Angel that I bought at Target many years ago....

Under the window is the wheel from an Amish Buggy that Joe bought off the Amish Farmer along with a wood star also made by the Amish Farmer....

It lights up at night...

On the side of the flower bed on the retaining wall......

I once again, like last year, stacked smaller square pots on top of larger ones.....

I planted 4 impatiens, 2 red and 2 white in the corners of the larger square pots....

Last year the marigolds that I planted in the small pots got lost as the impatiens in the larger ones really took off and spread out so this year, I decided to try a coleus in the pot on top.....

I used the stand from a bird bath to place a round pot on.....

I planed 3 impatiens inside of it....

Morning Glories are twirling their way around the railing on the steps down to the townhouse on the side of me.........

The front flower bed.....

These pictures were taken when my rhododendron was in full bloom........

I can not remember the last time that there were so many blooms on it.....

The azaleas are also done blooming....

I planted 3 red begonias in this black urn.....

2 white impatiens are planted in the red vintage watering can.....

One of the mini flags bought for 90% off.....

The Golden Creeping Sedum is starting to bloom....

My Park Bench.....

2 white and 2 red impatiens in this pot.....

3 marigolds in this pot....

Funny how the saying on this heart now rings true even though it was bought last year.....

Underneath the bench....

Paying homage to our Beloved Pets........

I trimmed the forsythia bush.....

The wind chimes that my nieces gifted to me.....

I placed the bowl of a bird bath on top of the rusted angel bird bath......

The other Firefly Solar Light.....

The other mini flag.....

I planted 2 begonias in this pot that I placed inside of this red truck planter.....

And with dew points most of last Summer registering Tropical, I spent most of the Summer in my air conditioned house looking out the window at my flowers...

I spent $44 on the flowers for the front porch and yard at a local greenhouse .....

I used these and then bought these at Lowe's for $14 and panted them in the back yard and patio...

So my total this year for flowers was only $58 which is pale in comparison to the close to $200 that I spent last Summer....

I also want to share the view from my front porch on Sunday evening.....

God is definitely in the details.....

In my next post on THURSDAY, I will be sharing my back Patio and how I arranged things a bit differently out there this year....

So I hope you will stop by to visit again on THURSDAY!!!

I am linking up to these parties:

THURSDAY

Please take some time to visit these terrific hosts and all those joining in on the fun!
