I had the weekend off and the weather was beautiful. Im feeling a little beat down this morning, and I am pretty sure its cause I went non stop all day yesterday. Mowed the lawn, finished the kitchen trim, worked on the new corner of the deck, sealed concreted pots, built a frame for wine corks to hang in the kitchen, got a haircut, and some other misc. Here are some recent pics:

Here is a pic of where all my vinca used to live. Most Vinca was transplanted here and there and are all doing well. There is still a few in each of these containers also.

These next two pics are Convulvus that bloomed the first time on 6.20.08 -- Cant wait till they're covered with these little flowers.

Next is a double shot of Morning Glory. All star of Yelta so far, no Heavenly blue, which I thought I had the first morning. For some reason I thought Morning Glory were perrenial......but I found out different today.

Here is a shot of the corner of the deck that we are sprucing up. Sarah bought this awesome fountain. I moved the flower box that was back in the main garden and added some mini petunias and some convulvus to it. This is a work in progress. Want to get a few more plants.

Here is a pic of the concrete Garden Lady face I made a while back. I just painted and sealed it today, and I think it came out kinda cool looking. ^v^

When I moved my herbs to the veggie garden, I threw out all the Nasturtium except this little bit. The plants were looking crappy, and I didnt know if they would bloom. Well, they did, and I think the blooms are beautiful. I have big plans for Nasturtium next year.

Some more concrete stuff I had made a while back and just sealed yesterday. A wine chiller and some bowls.

And finally, a pic of my sunflowers, reaching toward the sky. I tried to get the angle to make it look like the metal art and the plants were one......soon enough they will have thier own big yellow shiney heads!!!

Hope you enjoyed. Now I am going to Lowes to see what they've got. Have a nice day!!!! ^v^

bsmitch	Jun 22, 2008 \| 2:09 PM PST Hadn't heard from you in a week and I was beginning to worry about my fellow Kentuckian. Your art creations are a master's work. I love all your photographs which are always excellent. Thanks for providing the floral blog entertainment. Your good friend always. The Hillbilly
fairygarden	Jun 22, 2008 \| 2:20 PM PST I love the starburst head. Do let us know how you did that. Morning glories self seed like crazy so you will probably have plenty of them next year.

Batnavel	Jun 25, 2008 \| 9:10 AM PST I wish I had made the sunflowers, and the head, but I didnt, those were purchased. All I do is concrete and wood, no metal sculpture......YET. Thanx for all the comments!!!
