My thumb is a little green too :)

Here are some potted plants I've got growing around the yard. My sister's beautiful landscaping gave me the inspiration to try again. Yes, they are all in pots...I just can't figure out this crazy Texas soil. Periwinkles on the front porch. Hibiscus in the backyard. Hydrangeas in the "courtyard" area.
I just had to throw in this last picture of the rain gauge I bought when we went to Canton. Ron wasn't sure but I thought it was cute and original. What do you think?
