I thought this was a very artistic way to die. I went to pull it off early this morning and just had to run back in the house to get a pic...

I am not sure what this one is, but I think it's called 'Fan Fare' I like how the light is hitting it on this pic. I found a com...

I thought I would show you how the second set of planters are filling out. There are two of these flanking our dining room entrance. I am n...

See those two-tiered planters in the back? I am not happy with them at all. This is the second year I have used them and so far I am not imp...
