"The Last Hurrah of Summer" or "I Have A Fetish"

....A  POTTING BENCH  FETISH

*turning beet red, kicking dirt clod and ....grinnin'

I KNOW...
I KNOW that I am running the risk of being RUN OUT OF DODGE
by daring to post YET ANOTHER POTTING POST.

 I'm so sorry if you are getting sick of seeing my potting bench fetish....
and of my POTTING ESCAPADES
in my back yard

but I am having too much fun with it not to share photos.
Wintertime will be here before we know it and I'll have to
fall in love with something else..........fireplaces, maybe ??
♥ ♥ ♥
(WELL, I already DO love my Franklin Fireplace.....in fact, if I had
to choose between FRANKLIN and MR. SWEET,
Mr. Sweet says he would get NERVOUS.

I have this metal 3 shelf piece that I wanted to use BESIDE

my red potting bench.

It was BLACK, tho, and not looking very good out there among the bright colored flowers and

everything else....

....so I reached for my trusty can of

SPRAY PAINT.




 OREGANO...
one of my favorite GREENS..

especially great for outside furniture.

 ok.....THIS color was working MUCH better.

After all, LEAVES are supposed to be GREEN.....not BLACK. 

The shelf just gave me a little more working room....

storage space for extra pots and plants.

  I bought this little $15.00 dude several years ago at Dollar General and I would LOVE to have another for a space in my yard.
I have a GREAT spot, IN THE SHADE, for another potting area...well, maybe just a CUTE area.
Of COURSE, they haven't had the shelves  in stock for 2 years so I doubt I will find one now.

I do, however, have an olden metal, 3 shelf unit that I can paint and use.

....a project for NEXT spring.

 Yep...I love the extra space it gives me...

Now, I just need to buy some flag stone or old bricks and make a

nice little "floor" for all this "purdy" stuff. :)

I'm already trying to figure out something cute for it all during
WINTERTIME......
Now, what in the world would a person do with a potting station for it to look GOOD during the winter....

I can't even imagine......

bet some of you bloggers will know, tho.
Maybe some little pots of evergreens of some sort...?

 Cuteness to hang my gloves from....
I'm thinkin' EVERYone should have
at least ONE
 PINK FLAMINGO in their yard. :)

This was a few weeks back...it is a LITTLE cooler now..
around the 90's somewhere.
Let's take a break amd...

OK, I will TRY not to show any more POTTING BENCHES for awhile..

Well, now, if I DO get around to building that brick or flagstone floor for it all,

I will just HAVE to show you....:)

as hot as it has been, I may have to wait until FALL to do it, tho.
It sounds like a great FALL PROJECT to me.

I hope you all have a POTTING BENCH kind of day....

XOXO bj
*We had a most delightful rain on the 24th, about a half inch.
Yay for every single inch !
