Flower Power

This is one of the pansies that will be making an exit from the garden landscape next week-end when we replant several flower beds. The pansies have been able to hold on longer this spring because we have not had the high temperatures that we usually have this time of year. 

One of the spots where the pansies bloomed will soon be full of zinnias and we will have to decide what is going in the others.  I am always so happy when everything is planted and we can sit back and enjoy it all, except for keeping them dead-headed and weeded, that is.

There are some things that call for one of my grandmother's antique blue jars.

I usually do not pick any of the pansies, but it's nice having this specially chosen bloom to enjoy in the kitchen.

Pansy In A Jar

We plant hundreds of Pansies

every October and they bloom all

winter with an occasional slow down

if we get snow and ice.

 OOps--On second thought, it wasn't "we" this 

year because my husband did it all.
